Susan Jager, MFT

Susan is a wonderful therapist, and my life has improved dramatically since I’ve started seeing her. Like many, I was nervous to start therapy and cautious about sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings with a stranger. However, Susan’s warm, open, and nonjudgmental demeanor made me feel at ease immediately.
I started therapy to work through general anxiety, low self-​esteem, and to stop self-​harming. At my first session, she zeroed in on the most pressing issues and helped me design a practical, simple, and helpful self-​care plan. Within a very short amount of time, Susan helped me become more self-​aware and confident — and she prompted me to dig deeper into my triggers. Every session has been productive and informative, and I credit her for my swift transformation over the past year to become more self-​actualized, self-​compassionate, and confident. Simply put, I am happier and feel better since seeing Susan.
What I find most impressive about Susan, however, is her ability to be simultaneously empathetic and objective. She provides a comfortable and safe environment to work through emotions while also making sure there is space for critical examination. Plus, she has a great sense of humor!
I am incredibly grateful I found Susan’s practice, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

I came to Susan regarding issues surrounding my relationship in which I had reached a roadblock. Not only was she able to provide a supportive safe comfortable environment for discussion, she was able to provide insight to both female and male prospective allowing a greater sense of understanding of the situation for progression forward. She suggests great references to help further gain knowledge around certain subjects and ideas within the relationship and self. She is not in the least hesitant to call one out on rigid ways of dealing with things, and conversely, excellent in supplying careful coaching for mindful alternative approaches. She has helped me deal with concerns of anger from frustration and grief related to loss. Susan has made me feel that she goes above and beyond in supporting my life so that I am able to feel good about it. I have a newly found appreciation for therapy because of Susan.

Susan has been an amazing help. She is a true professional, and she has provided a great deal of support throughout a very difficult time. Susan helps to create strategies that have a meaningful impact on your day-​to-​day life and works with you toward achieving short and long-​term goals to help cope with issues. She is a great listener who helps you look within yourself. I couldn’t be happier about having found Susan.

Susan is a wonderful therapist. She is very good at listening, providing useful feedback, and helping dive into the deeper things behind the issues you are having. She is extremely nice and flexible with scheduling. I would recommend her for anyone that needs counseling of any sort.

As a therapist in the Bay Area practicing since 2005, I send many of my clients to my former classmate and colleague Susan Jäger. Consistently, I have been thanked by many for her guidance and skills. I find her understanding of the human psyche along with her compassion and pragmatism as one of the better therapists in the city.
