Susan Janss, M.S., MFT

     I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (licensed in 2009) with a masters degree in psychology from the California State University at Los Angeles. I have been practicing psychotherapy in the San Gabriel Valley for seventeen years. My experience includes working with individuals, couples and families who struggle with depression and anxiety, anger, and conflict resolution.  I practice a holistic approach to treatment that includes cognitive behavioral, attachment-based and relational therapies as well as discussions of diet, exercise and sleep.  Finally I believe there is a spiritual component to well-being.  How do we make meaning of our lives, and how do we choose to connect to the world and each other? 

     The thought of talking about painful feelings and experiences can be intimidating, and many choose not to put themselves through it. I believe, however, that positive change happens when we can be seen at our worst and still feel accepted; when we can sit with our deepest sadness or anxiety and realize that we can endure; when we can see ourselves in a different and more hopeful way. I find that our own self-acceptance paves the way for our ability to be more accepting of others. More fulfilling relationships flow from here. I would love the opportunity to travel this road with you to reach a new level of peace and fulfillment in your life.
