WAYS TO WORK WITH SUSAN

Start with what you're navigating.

You don't need to know the name of the service you need.

Susan works with people at many different points in a relationship — strengthening connection, making difficult decisions, navigating separation or family conflict, rebuilding after change, and understanding patterns that keep repeating.

Start with the situation that feels closest to yours.

START HERE

What are you navigating?

More than one path may fit. That's normal.

Relationships rarely fit neatly into one category, and the kind of support that helps may change over time.

FIND YOUR PATH

WE WANT TO STRENGTHEN OR REPAIR OUR RELATIONSHIP.

Maybe communication has become harder, connection has changed, trust has been hurt, intimacy feels different, or the same conflicts keep repeating.

Susan helps couples understand what's happening beneath the pattern and explore what may help them reconnect, repair, and relate differently.

COUPLES SUPPORT

The primary couples pathway for recurring conflict, disconnection, trust, communication, intimacy, and relationship change. The page clarifies when clinical psychotherapy or distinct non-clinical coaching, education, or guided support is appropriate.

HOW SUPPORT IS SCOPED

Couples Support explains the distinctions between licensed psychotherapy and non-clinical coaching, relationship education, and guided support. Eligibility and scope are clarified before services begin.

INTIMACY & REPAIR WORK

Focused support around emotional connection, resentment, trust, vulnerability, closeness, and patterns that interfere with intimacy.

COUPLES KETAMINE-ASSISTED THERAPY

A specialized clinical option for appropriately screened couples who may understand their patterns intellectually but continue getting pulled back into familiar emotional reactions.

FIND YOUR PATH

I'M NOT SURE WHETHER I WANT TO STAY.

You may care deeply about the relationship and still feel uncertain about whether continuing makes sense — or whether meaningful repair is possible.

Susan can help create space to slow the process down, understand what's happening, and make a more thoughtful decision about what comes next.

RELATIONSHIP CLARITY & DISCERNMENT

For couples where one or both partners are uncertain about continuing the relationship.

DISCERNMENT COACHING

A distinct non-clinical format that may be appropriate for some couples, subject to goals, location, and service eligibility.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS

Begin with the relationship crossroads itself, not a package or a preselected professional format. Susan can help clarify which work may be appropriate.

FIND YOUR PATH

WE'RE SEPARATING, DIVORCED, OR NAVIGATING CO-PARENTING.

The relationship doesn't necessarily end when the marriage does — especially when parenting, family relationships, communication, finances, or conflict remain part of everyday life.

Susan works with people before, during, and long after separation.

DIVORCE MEDIATION

A structured, neutral process for working through decisions and agreements during separation or divorce.

I'M NAVIGATING A FAMILY OR RELATIONSHIP CONFLICT.

Not every difficult relationship fits neatly into couples therapy or divorce.

Conflict may involve parents, adult children, siblings, former partners, blended families, extended family, or relationships that continue even when circumstances change.

FAMILY SUPPORT

For difficult family relationships, changing roles, ongoing conflict, and conversations that feel stuck.

CO-PARENTING SUPPORT

For parenting relationships that remain difficult after separation, whether recent or years ago.

FIND YOUR PATH

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND MY PATTERNS AND WHAT COMES NEXT.

Maybe you're dating again, rebuilding after a major relationship change, feeling lonely or disconnected, or noticing familiar patterns you don't want to carry into the next chapter.

Sometimes the question isn't simply “How do I fix this relationship?” It's “What do I want to understand about myself before I move forward?”

GROUPS & GUIDED SUPPORT

Groups and guided-growth experiences offer opportunities to reflect on relationships, identity, recurring patterns, life transitions, and rebuilding.

NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN?

You don't have to choose the right service on your own.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what kind of help actually fits.

A brief, no-fee inquiry conversation is the general first step: Susan can learn what you are navigating, your location, and which professional scope may fit. The paid 3-Session Clarity Package is an optional, structured way to begin for some relationship questions—not a universal prerequisite.

It may be especially useful when:

  • The situation feels complicated
  • More than one pathway seems relevant
  • You're unsure whether you need therapy, coaching, mediation, or another kind of support
  • You want to understand the problem before committing to a longer process

SPECIALIZED CLINICAL WORK

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

For some people, insight is only part of the work.

Susan offers specialized ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for appropriately screened participants exploring emotional and relational patterns through an experiential clinical process.

INDIVIDUAL KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

FOR CLINICIANS

MEDIATION

Mediation can create a more workable way forward.

Susan brings relational insight and mediation experience to difficult decisions and ongoing conflicts.

Mediation may address divorce agreements, co-parenting decisions, family conflicts, and other appropriate relationship or family disputes. The goal is a structured, neutral process for working through issues and finding workable agreements where possible.

Mediation is distinct from psychotherapy. Susan does not provide legal advice.

GROUPS & GUIDED SUPPORT

You don't always have to do the work alone.

Groups & Guided Support is a primary pathway in its own right, with experiences related to divorce, life transitions, relationships, personal growth and specialized clinical work. The specific group determines the format and eligibility.

A 15-minute inquiry call is a free first conversation to ask questions and see whether a group may be worth exploring. For groups that require an intake, the intake is a separate paid conversation that gives Susan more time to get to know you and understand what you hope to gain from the group. From there, Susan considers fit, availability, participant location, and the needs and makeup of the group before offering a place. Neither an inquiry nor an intake guarantees a place.

THERAPY

Susan M. Regan, LMFT
California License #31600
Massachusetts Marriage and Family Therapist License #1924
Psychotherapy is available to eligible clients who are physically located in California or Massachusetts at the time services are provided. Clinical care has separate assessment and consent requirements.

COACHING & EDUCATION

Coaching and guided support, when offered, are distinct from psychotherapy and not substitutes for clinical care. Coaching, education, mediation, groups, workshops, and other non-clinical offerings have different scopes and eligibility requirements, which may vary based on the nature of the service and participant location.

MEDIATION

Mediation is a separate neutral process, not psychotherapy or legal advice. Eligibility depends on the matter, participant location, Susan's role, and applicable jurisdictional requirements. Discernment, clinical KAP and group formats are explained on their distinct destination pages.

Sometimes understanding the pattern is the first step.

If you're not ready to work directly with Susan — or simply want to understand what's happening more clearly — explore Susan's videos, expert conversations, and articles.

ARTICLES & RESOURCES

Written ideas and starting points for reflection.

You don't need to know exactly what kind of help you need.

Start with what you know now.

Maybe you want to repair something important. Maybe you're uncertain. Maybe the relationship has changed but the conflict hasn't ended. Maybe you're rebuilding and don't want to repeat the same patterns.

Susan can help you begin by understanding what's happening — and what kind of next step may actually fit.

An inquiry is for fit and scope; it is not psychotherapy intake and does not itself establish a therapist-client relationship.
