Clarity. Understanding. And a Path Forward.

At Susan Chi Psychology, we believe that clarity is the foundation of change. Psychological testing is more than a collection of questionnaires; it’s a guided process that helps you or your loved one understand the “why” behind emotional, behavioral, or cognitive patterns. Whether you’re a parent seeking answers for your adolescent child or an adult hoping to make sense of lifelong struggles, a personalized evaluation can reveal the neuropsychological underpinnings of your challenges and provide a roadmap toward lasting growth.

Serving Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley, and the greater Los Angeles area, our assessments are grounded in compassion, precision, and the belief that understanding your mind brings empowerment.

The Value of Psychological Testing

Testing is not about labeling; it’s about liberation through discovery, knowledge, and guided interventions. Understanding the nature of your biological “brain” and psychological “mind,” and how these two beautiful and intricate systems work together, allows you to move from confusion to clarity, from frustration to progress, and from self-blame to self-agency. If you’re seeking a diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or personal insight, our thorough clinical interviews and assessments can uncover the data necessary to help you move from surviving to thriving. 

If you or a loved one is struggling with emotional, behavioral, or cognitive patterns that seem unexplainable and troubling, in school, work, or relationships, we invite you to begin the process of discovery and change.

Contact Susan Chi Psychology in Pasadena, CA to schedule a confidential consultation and take the first step toward understanding and working with your unique mind.

Client & Professional Testimonials

"I have struggled with depression my entire life, and no psychologist has been able to help me like Susan. With her kindness and professionalism, I was able to get through the most challenging time of my life. Sessions with Susan were life-changing and something I looked forward to every week. I wouldn’t be where I am now without her. I’ll be grateful forever.”

Alice Perez, PhDLicensed Clinical Neuropsychologist, Neurology Department, Yale University
Having worked with many therapists before, I never thought that it was possible to achieve results without spending many months to years in therapy; but, Susan was able to help me feel more centered and at peace in just a few sessions using somatic techniques.
S.C.Former Individual Therapy Client
"I struggled with gender dysphoria, and for years I fretted about whether or not to transition - or what transition could even look like for me. But after seeing Dr. Susan Chi I found the courage to make the choices that were best for me. To this day, I am satisfied with the decisions I made while seeing her."
P.A.Former Individual Therapy Client
Susan set the stage for compassionate listening and emotional connection in our marriage. She really understood us as a couple, as well as who we are individually in terms of our backgrounds and cultures. Susan helped us work through a lot of anger, coldness, and pain and helped us learn how to help each see how our dynamic wasn't working, as well as where it came from, and how to use new ways of relating to build security and trust. Thank you.

"My time with Susan has been life-changing. Her sessions are something that I look forward to each week, and never fail to provide me with confidence, energy, and a new understanding of my own thoughts and emotions. She is an incredible listener who has provided me with a sense of control in my life. I truly couldn't imagine this past year without her."
G.S.Former Individual Therapy Client
Dr. Chi is kind, professional, and puts you at ease. She really cares and sees the best in your relationship. She helped gain our relationship back. Even though it was hard for me to learn to listen, heal, and eventually forgive my husband...and it was hard for him to put his anxiety and guilt aside to support me - we learned so much about each other in the process. I feel stronger and more secure and ready to move on.
C.B. & F.R.Former Couples Therapy Clients

Her experience working with diverse military and civilian populations provides foundational knowledge from which Dr. Chi more fully assesses, consults, and treats all individuals. With this open mindset, Dr. Chi skillfully meets patients where they are in order to cultivate meaningful change. In addition to the delight of witnessing clinical progress with her patients, collaborating with Dr. Chi is intellectually invigorating and exciting.
