Waitlist for new clients
I approach the concerns that bring somebody into the consultation room with the humanistic belief that therapy can best take place through a respectful dialogue that fully utilizes the resources of both the therapist and the client. I regard the blocks that make such a dialogue difficult a worthwhile topic of exploration that can yield a strengthening of the capabilities for problem solving and growth. I am a native Spanish speaker from Argentina, and I offer therapy in that language. I also see multicultural couples that need bilingual intermediation. I have a special interest in couples.

I am a Bay Area-based Asian American clinical psychologist with a passion for working with adult children of immigrants, people of color, and historically marginalized folks. Many clients express struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing, self-criticism, and worry that they will never be "enough." There may be parts of themselves they feel unable to explore or express, and worry that these parts may not be understood or supported by others. Many may be navigating intergenerational trauma, and relationship issues with their family of origin or romantic relationships.

I am a Bay Area activist who has fought for transgender rights by organizing provider trainings and public demonstrations. I am a visual artist and storyteller who believes that underrepresented individuals expressing themselves creatively and authentically is powerful and important.

Even when we are trying to do everything right, things can feel wrong. If you cope with anxiety or are drowning in a difficult work environment, we will find the specific ways your nervous system grounds. If you struggle with depression, we will knit connection and purpose to heal disconnection. If you carry adult or childhood trauma, I offer evidence-based therapies for recovery. When appropriate, we will soften and shift habits through somatic-based practices. Even if you’ve never been interested in anything “spiritual,” meditation and breathing practices can give a frayed mind/body the experience of sanctuary it needs.

I offer warm and collaborative psychotherapy with adults across different issues, stages in life, challenges, and triumphs. It is often in the presence of compassionate attunement that we can fully explore who we are - where we come from, the forces that shape us, how we are now, and living the life that is important to us. Therapy is your time, and it can be used to process, reflect, take inventory, heal, learn new strategies, identify your values, and find ways to live in integrity with those values. It is a place to find balance, introspection, create changes, celebrate strengths, explore nuance, and experience relief and joy.

Are you wanting to be more true to who you are but do not know if it is possible? Do you often repress your desires and ignore your needs? Does this end up making you feel stuck, unhappy, hopeless, sad, frustrated, depressed and/or anxious? Whether you were raised by people who failed to see you and support you, or in a culture that oppressed you, it is important that you do not give up. You deserve to prioritize yourself and be who you are truly meant to be.

I am a philosophical counselor with more than ten years' experience consulting in philosophy in Italy, Switzerland, and the US. I've worked in the sexuality program at the California Institute for Integral Studies. My aim as a counselor is to enable you to "think through" compelling questions, decisions in your life to gain a greater sense of personal freedom, ethical clarity, and a sense of renewed vitality. In this work I draw upon my advanced training in classical and continental philosophy: my PhD in philosophy was completed at Sorbonne in Paris, and my philosophical consulting was completed in New York

Most of us experience anxiety at some point in our lives. It becomes a problem when we get so stuck in this feeling we have a hard time seeing things for what they really are. Maybe you are feeling anxiety physically, or you are noticing it by where your mind trails off to. On paper, you may look like you are doing well, but underneath it all, things are falling apart. With anxiety and any other emotional concern you may have, I like to look deeper at what’s going on underneath it. When we bring to the surface what is underneath the feeling, we can often feel better and can show up in a way that feels more like ourselves.

My focus is on assisting those clients with issues they need greater support on – grief, chronic illness, chronic pain, and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP). The misunderstood nature of health issues such as fibromyalgia, lupus, and headaches can lead to disruption in clients' lives and relationships, and grieving the healthy self is not unusual. HSPs experience the world with a heightened perspective, often finding interactions and sensory stimulation difficult as well as health challenges. Navigating such a world often requires more support and validation, which psychotherapy can provide.

My practice is currently full. I am taking no new clients, though I do have openings to meet with parents 1-3 sessions to think through next steps for you and your child. Please email me at susannamoorephd@gmail.com with your child's age, where you live, and a brief description of your situation. Se habla español. I work primarily with children and teens (and sometimes adults) who are marginalized in some way. I have extensive training in gender identity issues, the effects of trauma and loss, and the psychological impact of social injustice.

Move toward an authentic, more rewarding, life. Whether you're struggling with the same problems over and over, or just can't shake the feeling that something is missing from your life, my unique blend of supportive and exploratory psychotherapy can help. Uncover and change unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that may have served you at one time in your life, but now block you from living with spontaneity, creativity, and zest.
