We’re pleased to announce the addition of
Suzannah G. Ferron, M.A.
Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern
Supervised by David Jung McGarva, Ph.D.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Suzannah specializes in
- Women’s empowerment
- Creating resiliency in children
- Using writing and art to encourage growth

We’re happy to welcome another colleague, a wonderful therapist who’s in “the exam process.” That means she has a master’s degree in psychology (one in literature, too, by the way), she’s completed 3,000 hours of client contact, and she’s studying for the rigorous California licensing exams. Two of ’em. It’s the state’s way of looking out for you: Not only does a pre-licensed intern have to know about the various theories of therapy, there’s the law and ethics of our profession. Like what to do when someone’s suicidal or why we don’t use social networking with clients. Including interns in our practice enables McGarva and McGarva to offer low-fee counseling to the community. If you have any questions, go ahead, drop us an email or give us a call. But first take a look at Suzannah’s article, “Cultivate Your Garden”.

And so: life is full of change, and sometimes, like recruiting Suzannah, it’s easy. But people often call us when there’s a change they find difficult. Sometimes the change occurs to someone else and it affects your relationship. Sometimes you WANT a change, and it doesn’t happen quickly enough.

Maybe you’re looking for an independent professional to talk to in total confidence, about the challenges that most of us face from time to time – relationships, stress, parenting, bereavement, anger or depression?  You’ve taken the first step by reading this.

Maybe you’ve been involved in a traumatizing event and it’s time to move on? Monica works with trauma and can offer clinical hypnosis.

Maybe you’re trying to identify your life’s work, or you’ve hit a roadblock in making it happen? We offer career counseling, and David works with motivation, particularly writer’s block.

As a team we offer two-on-two coaching to motivated couples.
