Susan K Faron
Psychologist, PhD, MA
Walnut Creek, CA 94595
Analytical psychology emphasizes completeness, not perfection. Because psychological insight and self-knowledge are essential for health and vitality, it's lucky our psyches respond favorably to attention and reflection! Positive, effective, long lasting change is created. Research shows nightly dreams provide a running commentary on everyday life. Dreams anticipate, sometimes warn, and often help in resolving problems. They help you relate to the "rest of you", the part that operates out of awareness, sometimes causing symptoms, or taking over and becoming destructive. These parts appear increasingly frightening when pushed away.

I offer therapy sessions in-person or online via video in South West Walnut Creek M-Th.
If you've spent years masking, over-explaining, or shrinking yourself to fit spaces that were never built for you, this is different. You don't need to be fixed. You need to be understood. I'm a LCSW from UC Berkeley. My practice, Swift Mind Care, centers neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, people holding complex cultural identities, and those carrying trauma. I draw from evidence-based approaches alongside the healing traditions of my Tlingit/Hawaiian heritage. Before private practice, I worked with communities that traditional therapy often overlooks, including first responders. That work shaped how I show up now.

Walnut Creek, CA 94596
It’s hard to be human. There are no manuals on how to deal with our thoughts and emotions. Sitting with vulnerability can be scary and uncomfortable. As a Client-Centered clinician I plan to meet you in the here and now and help get you to where you want to be in a holistically happy and healthy manner. We all could use a bit of guidance, and at times, a push in the right direction.

Walnut Creek, CA 94595
Sessions are in person in Newport Beach, CA or online via Google Meet.
If you have been called “too sensitive,” feel everything deeply, or your mind never seems to turn off, you’re in the right place. You may have spent so much time understanding others and making sense of the world around you, but rarely feel that same care or depth of understanding reflected back to you. As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I understand what it's like to experience the world this way. Our work will focus on helping you untangle what’s going on beneath the surface so you can better understand your emotions, trust your instincts, and move through life with more self-trust and clarity.
