I'm Susana, a bilingual LCSW with over 20 years of experience working alongside adults and seniors during the moments that matter most: loss, illness, major life change, and the quiet overwhelm that builds when you're holding too much for too long. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent years as a medical social worker, which means I understand what it's like to navigate the healthcare system while also carrying real emotional pain, and I know how to help you do both. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, entirely via telehealth, so wherever you are in California, consistent care is within reach. Please note that I am currently not treating ADHD or providing couple’s counseling.

Ophelia Cofer

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy is a space where you should feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. My role is not to tell you what choices to make, but to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, explore what matters most to you, and find a path that feels right for you.

I value building a genuine connection with my clients and creating a space where you can be open and honest without fear of judgment. Together, we can work through the things that may be weighing on you and develop tools that help you feel more confident in navigating life, relationships, and the challenges that come your way.

I primarily work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, including challenges with family, friendships, and romantic relationships. I have worked with youth and families since 2016 and have provided therapy since 2022. My experience also includes supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence and working in crisis settings, which has shaped my belief in meeting people with compassion, patience, and understanding during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Most importantly, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My hope is to help you feel empowered to make choices that align with your beliefs, values, and the life you want to create.

I’m currently accepting new clients! If anxiety, depression, loss, loneliness, or life changes have left you feeling stuck, you don’t have to navigate them alone. Even if you’ve struggled for years, there may still be room for greater confidence, connection, and enjoyment in life. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than nine years of experience as an LCSW, and I especially enjoy helping adults and seniors find practical ways to improve their well-being.

My approach is warm, calm, down-to-earth, and open-minded. I listen first, respect what matters to you, and work with you to find solutions that fit your life. You can expect honest conversation, encouragement, and manageable steps toward meaningful change—with room for laughter and appropriate humor along the way. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start where you are today and work together toward where you’d like to be.
