More about Susan

I am a licensed doctor of psychology practicing in Beverly Hills for 20+ years. I have a credential from the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, Human Sexuality Program. I would very much be available to treat many human sexuality problems which plague relationships and individuals: Disorders of Desire; Arousal Disorders; Relationship Problems which may lead to Lack of Intimacy and/or Confidence. Any of these issues may lead to Depression and/or Anxiety.

You do not have to face these problems alone. I am here to listen carefully to you. I have many approaches with which to help you. My approach is a collaborative one. I will give you the tools and insights that make sense to you. You and your needs come first.

It is important to me as your therapist that you feel heard!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very professional and lots of insight.

Reviewed February 2024

I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Graysen. I initially did not anticipate the susbtantial impact that Dr. Graysen's help would have on my life. However, working with her has ushered me into a more stable, resilient and empowered version of myself, which I have felt reflected both personally and professionally. This transformation filled a previously unnoticed void, akin to adding a missing puzzle piece to my life's picture. For that, I am profoundly grateful.

Reviewed July 2023

Dr Graysen was exactly who I needed for issues relating to family dynamic, sexual health, romantic troubles, and basic proactive functioning. I came to her in crisis mode six months ago and we have step by step untangled the logic that was keeping me trapped in a difficult situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate listener with a sense of humor.

Today was my first session with Dr Graysen and I have no words to express how much better I already feel. She was very professional and extremely easy to talk to regarding the most embarrassing of situations. A little weight has been lifted off my shoulders . Looking forward to more time with her.
