I own a group practice where my therapists are from all walks of life to match the uniqueness of each client's needs. We ensure you receive the best fit for your treatment goals and needs.

Life can present challenges that take two to process and understand.

I offer a trained empathic ear, an inquisitive mind, and a safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings about whatever is troubling you.

I'm Susan Faitos and I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients in California via telehealth. My primary focus is working with individuals seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, women's issues, and chronic illness/pain challenges. I am also experienced in working with relationship/family issues and I am sex-positive, sexual orientation, and kink friendly. My style is well-suited for individual adults who are experiencing life transitions and/or challenges coping with their current situations.

I have worked with clients dealing with low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, and trauma. I also have a background and passion for working with adults and youth with histories of involvement in the justice system. My motto for my clinical practice is to provide "therapy that comes from the heart".

I enjoy working with clients from different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and incorporating those facets into a more holistic approach to therapy. I have extensive experience using evidence-based treatments to address depression, anxiety, trauma and substance disorders.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

All the tools that you need to heal are already within you. My main approaches are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Mindfulness. Mindfulness invites relaxation into the body while EMDR allows you to process the past without feeling triggered. Many of our present problems such as low self esteem, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression have deep roots within our past. EMDR works to address the problem from its root by challenging the negative messages that we have received from childhood and replacing them with new positive truths. These truths are then integrated into how we view ourselves and the world.

Individuals gracefully bridging the gap between two cultures and embracing their diverse identities.

Individuals courageously confronting chronic pain and illness, seeking solace and healing. Caregivers wanting to unlearn harmful parenting styles and step away from dynamics that don’t serve them.
