About Susan Clark

Susan Clark is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of professional experience. She works with individuals across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, concentration and memory, and attention and focus. She brings particular expertise in supporting young children, adolescents, and young adults who are coping with trauma, victimization, recovery from sex trafficking, or common childhood behavioral challenges.

Susan emphasizes an engaging and approachable therapy style designed to help young people feel seen, heard, and supported. She aims to make sessions comfortable and even enjoyable when appropriate, while maintaining a focus on practical skills and emotional safety. Her interventions are grounded in evidence-based approaches and are tailored to each person’s unique needs, with the goal of strengthening resilience and promoting healing and growth for concerns both large and small.

Susan is passionate about early intervention because childhood and adolescence are pivotal phases for development - moments when difficulties often first appear but also when timely support can have long-lasting benefits. She describes it as an honor to accompany young clients and their families through those stages of change. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and expresses pride in anyone who takes that first step.
