Children & Adolescents
Anxiety, depression, school refusal, peer conflict, learning and behavioral challenges, identity, and the experiences that shape a child's inner world.
Agoura Hills, California
A quiet place to be heard, understood, and to grow.
Compassionate therapy for children, adolescents, families and adults — guided by nearly three decades of practice and the gentle wisdom of the Oaklander Model.
Welcome
Therapy rooted in presence and respect.
I am Sue Ellen Talley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving the Conejo and San Fernando Valley communities for nearly thirty years. My practice welcomes clients of every age — from very young children to older adults — and holds space for the parts of us still longing to be seen.
My work draws on the Violet Oaklander Model of Gestalt therapy: experiential, creative, and deeply human. Whether through conversation, sandtray, clay, or quiet stillness, the goal is the same — a stronger sense of self, and more choice in how you move through the world.
