Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Marcos, CA


Marsi specializes in working with children, teens, young adults, and women who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult life experiences. She is passionate about helping clients understand not only what they're experiencing, but why—because insight creates the foundation for lasting healing.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the latest research in neuroscience and trauma treatment. Marsi integrates evidence-based therapies including EMDR, attachment-based therapy, Polyvagal Theory, somatic interventions, cognitive and behavioral approaches, and play therapy to help clients regulate their nervous systems, process painful experiences, strengthen relationships, and develop greater resilience.

Whether someone is healing from childhood wounds or abuse, breaking generational patterns, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life, Marsi believes lasting change is possible. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside each client as they rediscover hope, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Susan Lowe

Susan Lowe

Therapist

Virtual • Riverside, CA


I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician who helps women navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the emotional weight of being everything to everyone.

Many of my clients are successful, capable women who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.

They are often balancing careers, relationships, caregiving, motherhood, or major life changes while struggling to prioritize themselves.

While I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy or infant loss, you do not need to be a parent to work with me. I support women across the lifespan who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, build effective coping strategies, and help you create meaningful, lasting change.
