Online Therapy in California
Room for your needs, your story, and the parts you usually keep to yourself.
I’m Susan Hea Jin Ko. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, pregnancy, postpartum changes, the demands of motherhood, and the feeling of carrying too much on their own.
I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide online care across the state, with particular attention to motherhood, anxiety, cultural identity, and the expectations that can make it hard to ask for help.

Online care for adults across California
Making room for you
Your relationships and culture belong in the conversation.
You may be balancing your own needs with family loyalty, cultural expectations, or the pressure to appear capable. As a Korean American therapist, I welcome conversations about identity and belonging without assuming that your experience is the same as mine.
Pregnancy and postpartum
Space to talk about worry, unwanted thoughts, changing relationships, and the emotional adjustment to becoming a parent. Explore postpartum and perinatal therapy.
Work, family, and the mental load
Support for boundaries, guilt about taking time for yourself, and the pressure to keep everything moving. Explore therapy for working moms.
Identity, family, and belonging
Space to explore intergenerational patterns, boundaries, and what it means to care for yourself while staying connected to people who matter. Explore AAPI-affirming therapy.
Fertility and pregnancy loss
You can bring grief and uncertainty here without needing to find a positive side. Learn about fertility and loss support.
California telehealth details
What to know before we meet
Am I able to see you in California?
Yes. I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, license #132261. California telehealth sessions are available to adults physically located in California, whether you are in the Bay Area, Southern California, or elsewhere in the state.
Are appointments in person?
California appointments are online. You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a private place where you can speak comfortably. We’ll discuss how sessions work during your consultation.
What if I travel?
Please tell me before an appointment if you will be outside California. I also serve clients physically located in Colorado and Florida, but we need to confirm whether a session can take place wherever you’ll be that day.
Do you offer a local office?
My practice offers online therapy. City names on this website describe areas where clients may be located; they do not represent separate office locations. You can meet from a private space without adding a commute.
What is the first step?
Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation. We’ll talk about what brings you here, your questions, and current availability. You do not need to share your whole story on that first call.
What are the fees and insurance options?
Individual therapy is $180 per 50-minute session. New private-pay clients are welcome. Insurance billing is handled through Headway. In California, I accept Aetna, United Healthcare/Optum/Oscar, and Providence Health Plan. Anthem is currently waitlisted and is available in California only. Please confirm coverage and benefits for your specific plan before your first appointment.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available. I can also provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement, which is not guaranteed. Read the full fees and insurance information.
Do I have to be a mom?
No. Although motherhood and perinatal mental health are central to my work, you’re welcome to ask about support for anxiety, identity, relationships, and life transitions. The consultation helps us decide whether my practice fits your needs.
Meet Susan
I’m a therapist, mom, and Korean American. My style is warm, conversational, and active: we can slow down the moments that feel difficult and explore what you need, including the cultural and family expectations you may be carrying.
My work draws on CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, IFS, and ACT. I tailor these approaches to your needs, goals, and what you’re looking for in therapy. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and am pursuing the PMH-C credential.
Begin with a conversation.
You can ask questions about online therapy, availability, and what support might look like for you.
