Susan Rome, LMFT

Susan Rome is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 39 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She encourages straightforward conversations and supports clients who are dealing with panic, social anxiety, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She works in English and is licensed in California.

Susan aims to make the first step feel manageable. She creates an open space where feelings and thoughts can be said without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on building skills to handle intense emotions.

Her approach emphasizes clear communication and realistic problem solving. She helps people sort through control issues, communication problems, and the impact of divorce or separation. Work may involve examining patterns that keep old hurts and guilt alive and learning small skills to change them.

Susan draws on many evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working on forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.

Getting started means answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. Her practice accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. If you want to try therapy, she encourages taking that first step and will help guide the process.
