You know why you struggle, but knowing has not changed how you feel. You replay conversations, say yes when you want to say no, stay attached to people who hurt you, or react like you are in danger even when you are safe. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, betrayal, boundaries, and the reactions they wish they could stop.
Hi, I'm Susana, a bilingual English/Spanish bicultural therapist, I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. Some areas that I address in therapy with clients include;
I'm warm, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, efficient and approachable.
I'm Lara -- a real human. I support clients work through blocks to live in alignment with their true values and forgotten desires.
Clients describe me as "authentic, intuitive, warm." I'm client-centered, so ... yes, of course they're right.
I've found that building a strong relationship is the foundation of any successful therapy. My grounding philosophy is to meet people where they are at and to tailor my knowledge and experience to help them get to where they want to be. My ideal clients are those motivated, committed, and open to exploring various parts of the inner self and how these parts motivate, protect, grieve, and organize us for action.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.
I am a compassionate and dedicated LCSW with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate their unique mental health challenges and achieve lasting personal growth. I believe that every individual and relationship has the capacity for healing and transformation. I am experienced in working with individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem, and adjustment issues.

I have worked with adults and children for over 30 years. My work bridges a broad spectrum of life issues with the belief that we each carry a unique inner authority that directs us to develop according to our own truth.
My work has a Jungian orientation. In addition to verbal therapy with adults we may incorporate dream work, art, EMDR, or hypnotherapy.
I work virtually now and no longer treat children.
