Brentwood, Los Angeles
Looking for an online therapistDepth-oriented trauma therapy for high-
functioning adults. In-person in Brentwood, online throughout California.
Hi! Meet
Susan Quinn Therapist…
I’m Susan Quinn Therapist, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in attachment-focused trauma therapy for high-functioning adults. I work with people navigating anxiety, relational trauma, and depression, blending EMDR, somatic therapies, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you heal at the root, not just manage symptoms.
My approach is collaborative and carefully paced. IFS helps us work gently with the parts of you that learned to protect you over time, so healing feels safer and less overwhelming. Together, we help your nervous system find steadiness and make sense of the patterns that have shaped how you live and relate.
We all carry wounds from the past. They can quietly shape how we love and how we allow ourselves to be loved, leaving us feeling guarded, disconnected, or unworthy. This work is about releasing the beliefs formed in those painful moments and opening the door to healing, connection, and the love we all long for at our core.
