Susan Baltimore

Susan Baltimore is a licensed clinical social worker in California with forty years of clinical experience supporting people through difficult emotional transitions. Her work centers on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and related mood concerns. She also attends to attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and the particular strains that come with divorce and separation.

Susan combines a calming, empathetic presence with a practical focus on helping individuals develop strategies for daily coping and long-term adjustment. She prioritizes a non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can examine painful memories, understand patterns in their relationships, and regain a clearer sense of purpose. Her practice acknowledges the complexity of loss, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and isolation while offering steady professional support.

Across decades of practice she has worked with people facing life-stage transitions including new parenthood, caregiver roles, and later-life changes. She approaches therapy as collaborative work, aiming to walk alongside each person while they rebuild resilience and reclaim meaningful connections and goals.
