Susie Gamboa
Welcome! Taking the step to enter therapy is an act of courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. In our work together, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, integrating evidence-based frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) within a warm, humanistic foundation. Whether you are navigating life transitions, addressing relationship challenges, or seeking greater emotional balance, we will work collaboratively to build practical coping tools, harness your personal strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Strengths
I approach therapy through a deeply client-centered and holistic lens, honoring the full scope of who you are. My strength lies in bridging the physical, mental, and emotional connections that shape your overall well-being. While our foundation is built on warmth, empathy, and unconditional support, I am also an active partner in your growth. I bring thoughtful, direct observation to our sessions—gentle yet candidly highlighting the recurring patterns, blind spots, and behaviors that may be holding you back. My goal is to empower you with both the deep self-awareness and practical tools you need to break old cycles and step into real, lasting change.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I help you look at how your past relationships—especially from growing up—impact the way you connect with others today. Together, we’ll break old, hurtful habits, build healthier communication, and help you feel more secure in your everyday relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In CBT, we work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck, replacing them with practical strategies to manage stress, reframe negative thinking, and create meaningful, lasting change in your daily life.
