Getting to know Susan Lam

Hello, I'm Susan Lam, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Psychology and a Master's in Counseling from California State University, Los Angeles. My approach to therapy is collaborative and integrative, tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs. I specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and integrative, meaning I customize my methods to fit the unique needs and goals of each client. I draw on evidence-based techniques from several theoretical approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors contributing to their difficulties. I often incorporate mindfulness-based techniques and relaxation strategies to support symptom management and overall well-being. When working with clients who have experienced trauma, I use Trauma-Focused CBT to help them process their experiences and develop coping skills. Creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and validated is a priority for me. I work with a wide range of clients, including adolescents, children, and parents. While comfortable treating various conditions, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. With adolescents and children, I focus on fostering a safe space where they can explore their feelings and concerns. I use techniques such as play therapy, expressive arts, and cognitive-behavioral interventions to help them learn new skills and develop healthier coping strategies.
