A Private Space to Rediscover Calm, Balance, and Connection.

About Susie Cole Rome

Hello, I am Susie Rome, MA, LMFT. I help individuals, couples, and families explore what pain is asking for rather than what is wrong with them. Together we bring gentle attention to anxiety, depression, and emotional distress so you can reconnect with authenticity and move toward a more meaningful life.

Our work invites curiosity, not judgment. We look at the patterns that protected you in the past and the possibilities that serve you now. Relief matters. So does transformation.

My Approach

Trauma-informed. Attachment-based. Compassion-forward. I integrate evidence-based modalities with a reflective, relational presence so healing can unfold at a sustainable pace. We focus on the nervous system, meaning making, and the relationships that matter most.

Calabasas. Hidden Hills. Los Angeles.

My offices are located in Calabasas and Hidden Hills, California. Clients often find the commute simple from Woodland Hills, Malibu, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, and Simi Valley, as well as neighborhoods across Los Angeles.

I serve a privacy-minded community that values discretion, depth, and results. Sessions are designed to be a calm space where high-achieving individuals and families can slow down, feel, and choose the next right step.

Adolescent Therapy

Adolescence is a season of becoming. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space for teens to name anxiety, depression, identity questions, school stress, and family conflict. With collaboration and care, we build skills for regulation and resilience while strengthening communication at home.

Addiction Counseling

Addiction is not a moral failure. It is an adaptive response to pain. We look with compassion at the roots beneath the behavior and develop practical, day-to-day strategies for stability and repair. Partners and families receive guidance that supports recovery and restores trust.

Relationships

Healthy connection begins with safety. I help individuals and partners notice patterns, name needs, and practice new ways of relating. We work on boundaries, communication, repair after conflict, and a return to authenticity that supports intimacy.

Discreet care for clients throughout the Calabasas and Los Angeles areas.

Couples Therapy

When partners feel seen, nervous systems settle and options expand. I draw on attachment science and practical communication tools to reduce reactivity, increase empathy, and rebuild trust. We move from blame toward shared understanding and choice.

Convenient for Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, and Malibu.

Trauma

Trauma lives in the body and the story. With compassion and pacing, we tend to both. I help clients process past events, expand capacity for regulation, and reclaim a sense of safety. Healing is possible. It unfolds in relationship.

Depression and Anxiety

Depression asks for gentleness. Anxiety asks for steadiness. We work with thoughts, emotion, and physiology to reduce symptoms and rebuild confidence. You learn practical tools for daily life while we explore the conditions that support long-term change.
