Is it time to improve your relationship and learn to communicate in new ways that increase understanding, closeness and pleasure? If you answered yes, then this workshop is for you!

The Roller Coaster of Emotion by Susan Thau PhD PsyD and Sandra Goldstein PhD

This new book was written with my colleague, Sondra Goldstein, to show what couples therapy is truly like. The therapeutic process is described in-depth including the internal process of the therapist. While the book’s couple, have different issues from you, we hope their experience is thought provoking and meaningful.  Reading and relating to this may stimulate your own interest in your personal exploration.

Both Sondra Goldstein and I invite you to communicate with either or both of us about your thoughts and experience in reading this book ( 4drsgold@gmail.com, susanthau@gmail.com )

EFT Supervision
Now Accepting EFT Therapists in Training

With an encouraging spirit, flexible schedules, and personal experience navigating the EFT certification process, I am ready to help you attain certification. I am an ICEEFT-Approved EFT Supervisor, and a founding member of the Los Angeles Center for EFT. I enjoy this work deeply and look forward to supporting you in your professional development.

Meet Susan

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my practice. Over the years, I helped clients with anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, limiting self concepts, marital strife, and more. To meet these and other needs, I have built my practice around the science of attachment, discernment principles, and emotionally focused therapy. These approaches are evidence-based and quickly becoming the gold-standard for psychotherapists around the world.

In each of my sessions, I focus 100% on my clients. This is because, according to Socrates, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom” and knowing oneself takes time! Indeed, I encourage my clients to discuss their histories and talk about how their past might influence their relationship with themselves and others. From individual therapy services to couples therapy and workshops, my practice aims to provide meaningful and immediately helpful results.

In addition to my psychotherapy work, I am available for speaking engagements and can present on a range of topics. I also am a mom, grandmother, and dog lover. To learn more about my educational background, certifications, professional affiliations, and publications, click here.
