Susan McGarry, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety as they navigate life transitions, including relationships with Intimate Partner Violence.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing depression and anxiety as they navigate life transitions. I have experience working with clients in relationships with Intimate Partner Violence and those with Child Protective Services involvement.

My approach

I work with each client using client-centered, positive, strength-based, respectful, and compassionate communication, working towards emotionally healthy and fulfilling lives.

My communication style

My focus is to create a caring, client-focused, respectful, and emotionally safe environment for the client as they work through their concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked with clients in toxic relationships who struggle with self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. My passion is to support these clients as they work towards healthy, strong, confident, happy lives.

My goals for you

The client and I will work together to set goals, both long-term and weekly, and to reassess these goals as needed.

Our first session

The first session will be reviewing the client's reasons for seeking therapy, describing my style, and reviewing the client's history.
