What People Say

Susan Chakmakian, MA, MFT

Susan is by far the best therapists I have ever worked with. As both a patient and a person, I matter to her. She genuinely cares about my issues, my concerns, and most of all about me. In addition to that she is always up to date on the latest research and contemporary psychotheraputic theory. I don't think there is much more you can ask for in a therapist.

Susan has been the best supervisor I could have ever asked for. She truly listened, guided, challenged and inspired me throughout my entire experience of being a trainee. She has a presence to her that just makes people around her feel safe and validated. With her compassionate heart, extensive psychological knowledge as well as her hands-on teaching skills, she has been absolutely irreplaceable as my supervisor.

Susan is an excellent supervisor and mentor. She is very compassionate,and truly cares about the professional growth of her students. Susan helps her students apply the technique to the theory, and find the meaning of it as well. During supervision Susan was able to create a safe environment for her interns, and reinforce ethical and legal behavior through modeling it for us.

Susan has had a powerful and long-lasting impact on my life. Therapy with Susan has helped me gain insight into my relationships and my career choices, and solidified my sense of self. She has been a calm, loving, supportive presence for me, and I can't imagine how different my life would be without her wisdom and guidance. She is an exceptional therapist, and an absolute treasure.
