Susan Vue, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I create a safe space for clients to process emotions and experiences during challenging life events, enhance coping skills, and find ways to feel better in order to function at their full potential. I work with children and adults facing unique challenges.

My focus

I have a passion for working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, everyday life stressors, grief, loss, and trauma. I'm committed to walking alongside you to build on your skills and develop a more positive outlook in your life.

My approach

My approach varies based on the needs of my client. Much of my approach is through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, as these modalities help clients identify barriers and move towards progress to start feeling better.

My communication style

I create a safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental environment where you can authentically express yourself and explore various parts of your life, especially ones that are difficult to maneuver. I want you to be heard, accepted, and understood as you share your personal story.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started while working in social services. I realized there were deeper-rooted issues beyond what's on the surface, such as those struggling with their mental well-being. This led to my mission to understand, guide, and support others through therapy.

My goals for you

I meet you where you are and work alongside you to develop realistic and achievable goals. I help you prioritize goals based on what's most important to you and your readiness.

Our first session

During the first session, I will conduct an initial assessment with you. This will include understanding why my client chose to enter into therapy, things that my client has been feeling and experiencing, and exploring the client's goals.
