Welcome to Wellness Para La Mama. I am Dr. Susana Marquez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D (LMFT105624) and a specialized Maternal Mental Health Clinician.  My services include therapy, support groups, workshops and classes for women during pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood and more.

The three pillars my work focuses on is mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. The reason I focus on these is because they were the key components in my journey towards healing, growth and becoming a healthier mother and women. I help mother's take control of their mental and emotional well being through their darkest and most challenging moments. With empathy and understanding, I help them heal and grow into better versions of themselves while knowing the value within them. I specialize in educating the mother on what is maternal mental health, helping the family understand what they are experiencing, the importance of the mother's mental and emotional well being and connecting them with the proper resources in the community.

I earned my Masters and Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University in Irvine, CA and finishing my doctorate dissertation (Psy.D). I am a member of California Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT). I am an active member of Postpartum Support International (PSI). I am currently PSI’s support coordinator for the Los Angeles and Orange County in Southern California. Additionally, I have obtained a certificate in Bringing Light to Motherhood through Maternal Mental Health NOW in Los Angeles.
