Couples Therapy & Mediation

Wherever You Are in Your Relationship, I’m Here to Guide You.

Couples Therapy • Discernment Counseling • Divorce Mediation

Strengthen your connection, explore tough decisions, or navigate separation with support.
No matter where you are, I’ll meet you there—and help you find the next right step.

Couples counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Relationships grow, shift, and sometimes face difficult crossroads. Whether you’re here to deepen your connection, make an informed decision about your future, or navigate separation and co-parenting, I’m Susan Regan, MFT—and I’ll be your guide through every phase.

With over 25 years of experience as a licensed therapist, mediator, and relationship coach, I help couples across California and beyond find clarity, compassion, and resolution. You don’t have to know exactly what you need to start—just take the first step, and we’ll explore the path together.
