Susan Badrtalei, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I love my job and care deeply for my patients. My reward is making a difference in people's lives.

My focus

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I treat a range of issues, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, dual diagnosis, grief, job stress, mood disorders, and psychosis.

My approach

I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporate mindfulness-based and multicultural approaches. My goal is to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs.

My communication style

My communication style aims to put you at ease while we openly and honestly discuss your challenges. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

My goals for you

My goal is for you to gain greater self-awareness, learn effective coping strategies, and make positive changes to enhance your well-being and life satisfaction. I want to empower you with the tools to overcome difficulties and thrive.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask about your background, current situation, and any symptoms you're experiencing. We'll begin to develop a strong therapeutic alliance and create a preliminary treatment plan tailored to your needs.
