About
Susan Lane, is a highly experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly 30 years of experience helping individuals find healing, clarity, and personal growth.
There are many different pathways that can help you feel better, and together, we can identify the path that best fits your needs.


Welcome to Peaceful Pathways!
Therapy
The therapeutic path is designed for individuals seeking deeper healing and emotional growth. Therapy addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, heartache, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and recovery from toxic or narcissistic relationships. Using an integrative approach that may include EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, guided imagery, and other evidence-based techniques, therapy helps uncover underlying issues, heal emotional wounds, and create lasting change.
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is for individuals who do not need therapy but would like support, feedback, guidance, or an objective person to talk with about a specific issue. Similar to having a trusted advisor or "Dear Abby" for life's challenges, coaching is practical, solution-focused, and often short-term. Whether you are facing a difficult decision, relationship concern, career issue, family conflict, or life transition, coaching provides a confidential space to explore options, gain perspective, and develop a plan for moving forward. Weekly sessions are not required.
Couples Strengthening Program
The Couples Strengthening Program is not couples therapy. It is an educational and coaching-based program designed to help partners better understand themselves and each other. Through relationship assessments, personality quizzes, love language evaluations, anger assessments, and guided discussions, couples explore communication, finances, family dynamics, work-life balance, friendships, intimacy, values, expectations, and conflict patterns. The goal is to identify strengths, understand triggers and blind spots, improve communication, and learn practical tools for navigating differences and building a stronger relationship.
Spiritual Life Coaching & Readings
For those seeking spiritual growth and exploration, I offer Spiritual Life Coaching, intuitive spiritual readings, meditation, energy balancing, chakra work, intuition development, and spiritual guidance. These services are designed for individuals seeking deeper self-awareness, spiritual connection, personal insight, and support along their spiritual journey.

Thank you, Susan! I love knowing myself more with each day!" — LR, Less than 3 months ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Susan has been an absolute angel. Before I started therapy I was really nervous, I had been through so much and I was worried no one would be able to help me. My mother is a narcissist and a drug addict and my father was murdered a week before I was born. I had to grow up fast and make a life for myself all alone. I was in a dark place and Susan has helped me identify my trauma responses and has helped me let go of the pain, hurt, and exhaustion of it all. I was angry for a long time and always thought I would be. And it took a lot of hard work but I’m happy to say I'm no longer angry at the world, angry at my parents, and most importantly angry at my mother. I’m proud of where I am today, and Susan was with me every step of the way. I never felt alone and always felt like I had someone in my corner rooting for me to be the best version of myself. Starting therapy was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and I’ll recommend Susan to anyone who will listen. I am so grateful to have her." — AS, Less than 6 months ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Susan is a very professional and personable therapist who brings a lot to the table. She has a plethora of skills and techniques helping me with my relationship to my partner, myself, and also my past. Susan has changed and improved my life and I can't thank her enough." — FR, Less than 6 months ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very helpful and profound therapist. Highly professional, warm, encouraging, and positive. I find her Reiki energy healing session effective and helpful. She has also done visualizations with me to prepare me for important life events, which has helped me a lot. I highly recommend her. Sometimes, just talking about how I understand the universe helps a lot as she is very open-minded and understanding. She simply makes me feel better and is a valuable cooperation partner on my healing journey. I feel lucky to have her as my therapist." — TH, Less than 1 year ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I came to Susan after a very bad breakup and cancer diagnosis. She was amazing. She guided me through childhood trauma that I had experienced while growing up in a cult. She was always there for me and helped me make major shifts. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for all of the support and guidance she's given me." — RO, Less than 1 year ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Susan has dramatically changed our lives for the better. She has guided us through the very complex and challenging times dealing with traumas specific to narcissistic abuse. During our first session, we knew Susan was the right therapist for us. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, empathetic and creates a very safe and comfortable space to communicate, listen and learn. Susan has taught us so much about narcissistic abuse and dysfunctional family programming in a very short amount of time. This has helped us immensely on our journey. She has provided us with additional resources (literature, blogs, videos) to further learn and better understand narcissistic personality disorder. She has given us the tools to cope with and navigate these dynamic relationships we have in our lives. Her virtual sessions are very convenient for our work schedules and she has been very accommodating to us for additional sessions on short notice. Susan has changed our lives for the better!" — JD, Less than 1 year ago ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I recently had the privilege of working with incredible therapist Susan, and I want to share my exceptional experience.
