Meet Susan

Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials. You want someone who understands what you’re going through, respects who you are, and has the experience to help.

I’m Susan Lowe, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist. I specialize in working with women and mothers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, relationships, grief, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your whole self, feel heard without judgment, and develop practical tools to help you navigate what’s happening in your life.

I bring specialized training in perinatal mental health and trauma, along with a deep understanding of how culture, family, relationships, and life experiences can shape emotional well being.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy.  We can start with where you are.

Education & Expertise

I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, CA, with a focus on African American Family Studies. This background has given me a deep understanding of the cultural strengths, challenges, and experiences faced by women and families from diverse backgrounds.

 

As a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, I am dedicated to supporting birthing individuals through every stage of their journey. Whether you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, grief, or the transition into parenthood, I offer compassionate, culturally sensitive care tailored to your unique needs.

Let’s work together to help you find balance, healing, and growth on your journey.
