Hi! My name is Suzanne Grace and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, a married mom of four children, two dogs, a cat, and a few chickens. I have lived in California most of my life and I work part-time with service members, and the remainder of my day I am working in private practice or via betterhelp.
I love what I do and I see working with clients as an opportunity for mutual growth - we learn from one another in every aspect of our lives, which is a true blessing.
I have experience with a vast range of issues and therapeutic modalities, but have listed the most common - but that does not mean I have not worked with clients with issues not listed or do not have a desire to. My true desire in this helping profession is to aid people in living their fullest and best lives.
I have 5 years of professional work experience as a therapist and I have experience in helping clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, fertility-related issues, loss/grief, couple's and relationship issues, family conflicts, women's and men's issues, and trauma and abuse.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that your many strengths and resiliencies will assist you in overcoming life's challenges. While I determine the therapeutic modality based on your presenting issues, I also coach, work with couples considering divorce, am a collaborative divorce therapist, and a divorce mediator.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am looking forward to getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Suzanne Grace. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
As a therapist myself it's hard to open up and talk to other therapists. Like many others I struggle with anxiety, ADD and OCD. Suzanne offers an environment of zero judgement and has so many great tools. Looking forward to meeting again soon.

Great therapist!

Suzanne has a very fresh approach to coaching and therapy in general. I say coaching because she makes me feel like more of an equal rather than someone who needs help. I like that and I feel she goes out of her way to listen and bring fresh ideas to the secession and she feels like a very well-informed friend rather than a therapist.
