Getting to know Susan Templeton
Warm greetings, my name is Susan Templeton, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the High Desert of Southern California, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University. I enjoy working with adults throughout various stages of life, using Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapies. My focus is to use my 26 years of experience in therapeutic settings to help clients understand their thoughts and feelings and develop healthy, safe ways to set and meet goals. I look forward to conversing with you.
My approach
My approach in therapy is helping clients see and process the needs in their lives and facilitating healthy, safe, growth-oriented change using Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapies, as well as an eclectic approach to meet clients where they are and develop attainable goals for success.
My focus
I enjoy working with adults in various stages of life where issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders can develop and affect daily life and relationships. I help clients navigate these issues by making growth-oriented behavioral choices that bring about healthy change.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, open-minded, and nonjudgmental. I listen carefully and create a safe, confidential environment where clients can relax and converse with me as we build a therapeutic relationship to bring about progress and resolution of issues.
My journey to mental healthcare
I am a naturalized citizen, and the trauma throughout my life has created an open and empathic mindset toward the challenges others face. A psychology professor guided me into the MFT profession, and the rest is history. I love this work-it is never just a "job."
My goals for you
I approach goal setting with clients through teamwork, focusing on what the client wants to work on and their willingness to attain the goal(s).
