Dr. Susan Sterling, a licensed psychologist with a PhD from the California School of Professional Psychology, specializes in supporting adults and elders (65+) through life’s challenges. She understands that individuals often face situations that seem insurmountable, and at these times, having a safe and compassionate space to explore issues such as life changes, parenting, relationship dynamics, and feelings of anxiety and depression can be invaluable. Her interactive, direct, and respectful approach fosters empowerment, allowing clients to navigate their values and goals toward achieving greater meaning in their relationships and overall lives. With expertise in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Family and Marital Therapy, and a diverse array of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Interpersonal Therapy, Dr. Sterling tailors her methods to meet the unique needs of couples and individuals alike. She believes that early life experiences can shape current challenges and aims to enhance clients' insights while equipping them with the necessary skills for personal growth and fulfillment.
