You're probably here because you feel stuck, you know you want to make some changes, but don't know where to start. Maybe you struggle with anxious thinking spirals or find it's hard to draw boundaries with people. Lately you feel more easily triggered and just overwhelmed by life. Maybe small tiffs feel like big conflicts with your partner, friends, or family, or perhaps you feel disconnected in your relationship. We get stuck in these patterns for very specific reasons, and we repeat what we don't repair. I can help you break these cycles and get back on track to thinking, feeling, and being the optimized version of YOU.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy at my private practice on the Huntington Beach Hospital campus. Much of my work is with clients struggling with anxiety, dysphoria, or depression, or in their relationships with their romantic partners/spouses or their families-of-origin. I find strengths they've forgotten they have that can be used to defeat their problems. I use Narrative and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies and when working with couples I use Emotion Focused Therapy. Research has shown that 70-75% of couples who undergo EFT become closer and more intimate and 90% of them show significant improvements.

I’m an active participant in your journey- offering insight, feedback, & direction. I’ll ask the hard questions but we’ll move at your pace. Therapy isn’t all serious all the time- humor heals, too! Together, we’ll map out your life and start to connect some dots.

Hello I am Susan Hansted. Welcome to the journey of healing and returning to your Divine authentic self. Entreprenuers and high achievers often work from internal pressures based on how they unconsciously demonstrate their value. This causes us to suffer by people pleasing, finding it hard to set boundaries, and physically suffering from stress related (dis)eases. I am gifted with the ability to hear, feel, and see what goes beyond the natural senses which led me to helping high achieving entreprenuers. My gift is to help unlock the areas of your life that need healing and a fuller expression for an extraordinary life.

"Seeking out a therapist and entering therapy can sometimes be an intimidating prospect. My goal as a therapist is to create a therapeutic environment that puts a client at ease and supports self-exploration in a safe, comfortable atmosphere. A client's desire for growth and change is a very personal journey and I believe in an individualized approach that supports each person's expressed need. Life is littered with suffering in different forms and I want to aid my clients in developing a deeper understanding of this suffering and meaning to what may feel meaningless."

As a therapist, my deepest desire is to walk alongside others, to step into their shoes and to empower them to have compassion for the wounded parts of their being. I am passionate about guiding others to feel what emotions must be felt, even when it is hard. I want to offer my clients a new path of learning that they do not need to run or hide from themselves but that they are capable of experiencing uncomfortable emotions. That in experiencing the full spectrum of their emotions, they are able to allow peace, rest, and acceptance to permeate the deepest parts of their soul.
