That being said, I specialize in supporting people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and healing from the pain of trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/e0e9df10-5484-4808-a421-1cfb2f5941e9/Screenshot+%28276%29.jpg About intimacy and sexuality I provide a safe place to discuss sexuality and physical intimacy (or lack thereof) both in and out of relationships. Sexuality can be joyful and natural, but can also feel like a complicated jumble of biology, physical urges, emotional and personal expectations, social norms, gender roles, power dynamics, and past experiences. Many people find that it’s extremely helpful to talk about and sort through these dynamics in therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/c2cce6b4-f18a-463d-8043-604e1f9b9022/unsplash-image-Jv_oD5CuVfw.jpg About RElationships Life is all about relationships. From the moment we come into the world, we begin receiving messages (verbal and non-verbal) that shape how we relate to ourselves, others, our community, and beyond. Therapy can be a place to explore these relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/04a492bc-9184-4370-9b0b-109b41e5e81a/resize.who.renee-fisher-MlUreWdUoxo-unsplash+%284%29.png About Who I Serve I work with adults both individually and as couples. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and offer bilingual services to Spanish speaking clientele. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/f99c3624-8dcf-42e0-9f50-433250d8393f/PerfectWings.jpg About Stress and Change Common concerns for my clients include acclimating to new family roles or stages of life, work or career challenges, perfectionism, burn-out, and stress. As we’ve all faced global challenges in recent years, I believe it’s become clear that even the most unflappable among us is not immune to the impact of chronic stress and change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/6c855004-3b90-470e-98e4-ff3fd75d1655/unsplash-image-3G8p__Lv8iM.jpg About The big picture Finally, self-examination naturally brings up bigger questions about how we fit into our community, the world, and that which is beyond what we can see or understand. Though I am not a faith-based counselor, I recognize that the bigger questions in life often lead us to examine beliefs about religion, spirituality, meaning and purpose. I hope to never impose any specific point of view, but I’m happy to join you in considering your own answers to these questions, if you are so inclined. https://www.susandiamondlmft.com/approach daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/1637351142469-FATU2GMGY3BBXQ1QXH19/unsplash-image-TsXUChk1cKc.jpg Approach - “We’re all just walking each other home.” — Ram Das https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/7d2f1ba6-f767-42ef-822b-42f308e470ce/darkness+conscious.png Approach - “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” — C.G.

I later traveled to and studied for a year in Costa Rica. More recently, I had the honor of working for several years in Los Angeles as a bilingual therapist with children and families whose primary language was Spanish. These experiences have all solidified my deep appreciation and respect for the language and cultural influences of Spain, Central America, and South America. https://www.susandiamondlmft.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://www.susandiamondlmft.com/faqs-4 daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/1637759087315-7OOBYCS67JC4H1UOOBEC/unsplash-image-AoqgGAqrLpU.jpg FAQs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/1638388008769-BQSK1J35CCYKKKLFFPJ9/unsplash-image-4k8_q1f0Grw.jpg FAQs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.susandiamondlmft.com/professional daily 0.75 2025-05-29 https://www.susandiamondlmft.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d65754ec4a84803ae4792/917762aa-097d-4892-81f8-77602711446c/Original+Uncropped+Photo+for++Website.2025.jpg Home welcome.
