Meet your therapist
Hi, I'm Susana.
I specialize in helping individuals find relief from the impacts of past trauma, feelings such as pain, shame, abandonment, depression, emptiness, and the residual hurt of childhood experiences and judgment.
My work weaves together EMDR, attachment repair, and parts work, so we can reach not just the thoughts but the deeper, younger places inside that still carry the original wound. I believe healing happens in relationship, in a space where your story is met with gentle understanding.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, I work with individuals, couples, and children of all ages, both in my Visalia office and online across California.
How I hold the work
Safety before everything
Healing can only happen when your nervous system feels safe. I move at your pace, never pushing you faster than trust allows.
You are not broken
Your symptoms are protective adaptations that once made sense. We meet every part of you with curiosity instead of judgment.
Culturally rooted
Your language, family, and values belong in the room. As a bilingual therapist, I honor the whole of who you are.
Begin when you're ready
Let's see if we're a good fit.
The therapeutic relationship matters more than anything. Book a free consultation and we'll take it from there, gently, at your pace.
