About Susan
Susan Hill is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people working through low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and the emotional aftermath of trauma. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are. Her approach aims to build confidence, improve communication, and reduce symptoms of depression over time.
Before becoming an LMFT she spent many years working with people in the court system, experience she draws on when clients bring complex or painful histories into sessions. That background informs a calm, steady style that focuses on practical next steps rather than labels.
Susan uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to ease intense emotions. EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools may also be used when appropriate.
Sessions are collaborative. Susan listens first, then helps set goals that feel realistic and meaningful. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear communication while creating a plan you can try between meetings.
People who seek her support often want stronger self-worth, better communication at work or home, or relief from lingering trauma and shame. If you are ready to take a first step toward change, she guides the process in straightforward, manageable ways.
