About Suzan

Dr. Suzan McEnany brings 25 years of professional experience as a California-licensed psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY17036), working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and ADHD among other areas, alongside a wide range of related struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She aims to build a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and work toward practical change.

Dr. McEnany emphasizes collaboration and aims to tailor the pace and focus of sessions to each person’s needs.

Her approach is grounded in established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shaped by long experience helping clients navigate grief, relationship breakdown, control and avoidance patterns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma. Clients seeking help can expect a calm, steady presence and a commitment to finding strategies that fit their life and goals.

Licensed in California, she offers therapy in English and draws on a broad clinical background to support people through transitions, chronic stress, and challenges to meaning and intimacy.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access

Dr. McEnany uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues clients bring. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress through practical coping strategies and structured exercises that help reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning. Another method concentrates on trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences and rebuild safety, trust, and emotional regulation after abuse or loss.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will listen to each person’s history, goals, and preferences and then recommend or adapt techniques that fit. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust course as progress is made so the work stays aligned with the client’s needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage time constraints, and access support from within California without commuting to an office.
