It helps to talk to someone

Life can be challenging. All of us need support at times. This is particularly true if you are feeling depressed, anxious, angry or confused or are experiencing grief or a difficult life transition.

Research and experience show that talk therapy can help. Therapy allows people to gain insight, build resilience, clarify issues, overcome problems, and change unhelpful behaviors.

About Me

Susannah Muller

M.A., Marriage and Family Therapy
J.D., UCLA School of Law
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #49050

I have a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and I provide individual therapy for adults. My counseling clients come from all walks of life and are concerned with a wide variety of issues. I believe in providing a warm, supportive and thought-provoking environment where you can feel safe to explore your concerns.

More about me

My approach to therapy

As a therapist, my approach is collaborative – we work together on discovering what is holding you back and how to overcome it.

Client-Centered

Therapy is structured around you, your concerns and your goals. I respect you, your values and your culture.

Real Listening & Responsive Feedback

My first goal is for you to feel truly heard.

Positive Psychology & Solution-Oriented

Rather than dwelling on diagnosis, I focus on problem-solving, personal growth and developing insight.

A Team Approach

Therapy is a collaborative effort. My end goal is for you to leave feeling empowered and able to cope on your own.

Many clients report strong feelings of anger, frustration, irritability, sadness or despair that they don't know how to handle, or that they are out of touch with their emotions. Talking with a counselor such as me offers you the chance to work through such emotions, gain a broader perspective, find hope, and change things that aren't working.

Getting started

If you think therapy might be helpful for you, or if you have any questions, please call or email me. An initial phone consultation is free.
