About Yvonne: Licensed Marriage Family Therapist Lic#113881
EMDR Certified Therapist & Approved Consultant
EMDR Therapy
Trauma, anxiety and depression, grief and loss of various kinds, bereavement and life stressors can be effectively reduced in severity with EMDR. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have found EMDR is an effective and powerful psychotherapeutic modality that can safely and compassionately provide relief from emotional suffering. It is important to find a Certified Therapist that is trauma and dissociation informed. My goal is to provide effective and informed compassionate treatment for any of the symptoms or life challenges you face.
In addition, I use CBT, DBT and am IFS informed, and completed the basic training in Rapid Resolution Therapy. Because one size does not fit all, I pull from my experience and training to fit the therapy to the person.
EMDR CONSULTATION
Consultation to complete hours toward EMDRIA certification, or CIT consultation of consultation are offered. Even if you are not seeking certification, consultation is a wonderful way to keep your EMDR practice informed. It has been my experience that consultation is and continues to be an important part of my practice.
CAMFT Certified Supervisor
Supervision is one of the most impactful parts of our journey to becoming a therapist. I offer a collaborative and well-informed supervision platform that will address legal, ethical, cultural and theoretical issues in therapy. My experience includes triadic and individual therapy in agency and private practice settings. If you are interested, please email me to discuss your supervision needs.

Susana Venegas, AMFT
About Susana, Associate Marriage Family Therapist #AMFT148462
Hello, I am committed to developing authentic, trusting relationships and working together to achieve your goals. My approach is highly collaborative, using integrative, evidence-based strategies to meet your individual needs. I have extensive experience working with vulnerable populations in acute settings. I work with children, teens and adults. By co-creating a warm, safe environment, you will begin the process of healing and developing a deeper sense of self. Together, we can address inner childhood trauma, self-esteem, emotional challenges (anxiety/depression), people-pleasing, boundaries, and more.
I value representation and authenticity, recognizing the strength and courage it takes to seek support, especially when facing societal, cultural, or familial challenges. I strive to create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming of all aspects of who you are. I honor both the similarities and differences that may exist between us.
You are the expert on your life, with unique strengths and gifts. My role is to help you identify and enhance them. I’m learning and growing alongside you and would be honored to support you on the first steps on your therapeutic journey. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out.
Bienvenidos! Estoy comprometida a fomentar un ambiente respetoso, auténtico y inclusivo.
Los cambios pueden ser una oportunidad para el crecimiento y la vitalidad, o puede ser un lugar de estancamiento y estrés. La vida puede resultar pesada y hacernos sentir ansiosos, agotados, perdidos y desanimados. Con el tiempo, las presiones y los dolores de la vida pueden abrumar a cualquiera. Aparte de lo que esté sucediendo en su vida en este momento, su historia no termina aquí.
Soy una terapeuta, apasionada a ayudarte hacia la mejor versión de si misma. Reconozco las fortalezas y trabajo que hizo para llegar aquí y buscar el apoyo necesario. Me especializo en terapia cognitivo-conductual utilizando técnicas terapéuticas diseñadas para ayudarte a reconocer y cambiar los patrones de pensamiento y comportamiento que te mantienen donde te encuentras. En un espacio seguro, manejamos las emociones dolorosas y aprendemos de ellas. Tengo amplia experiencia trabajando con comunidades vulnerables. Trabajo con niños, adolescentes y adultos.
Yo también estoy aprendiendo y creciendo junto a usted, y sería un honor apoyarte en los primeros pasos de tu camino terapéutico. Si crees que podríamos ser un buen equipo, te invito a comenzar tu descubrimiento.
