I was born in Nicaragua and came to the US as a young child, experiencing life as a first-generation Latino-American. Growing up, I didn't face significant culture shock like my parents and siblings. My main struggle was balancing Spanish and English, as I had to become fluent in English for school while maintaining my Nicaraguan culture and language, thanks to my supportive parents. I grew up in S. California, obtaining a BA degree in psychology from CSUN and a MA degree in psychology from Antioch University in Santa Barbara. For 14 years, I worked at Ventura County BH (VCBH), providing BH services for the severely mentally ill.

Recognized for her diagnostic acumen and efficient treatment plans, Susanne Fred tailors psychotherapy based on a thoughtful and proven process that fully assesses the individual's singular situation. Sufficient time is required to decipher symptoms, evaluate stressors and pharmacological interactions, and draw out latent experiences. In this process of discovery, you begin to understand the person and how they will react to various treatment methods. Ms. Fred understands that each person is unique and prefers to utilize the treatment method(s) best for the individual, referred to as the eclectic approach where all empirically supported treatment methods have a place.

I am a licensed psychologist. I conduct psychological assessments for children and adults. The assessment process typically begins with a referral from a medical professional, therapist or other healthcare provider. Psychological testing and evaluations help contribute necessary clinical information for differential diagnosis including but not limited to the assessment of the severity and pervasiveness of symptoms; and ruling out potential comorbidities. Results also help formulate or reformulate a comprehensive and optimally effective treatment plan along with setting appropriate recommendations and accommodations.
