Hello! My name is Suzanne Pish, I have a Masters Degree from Spring Arbor University and I am a fully Licensed Counselor with experience in academic and clinical settings. My passion is assisting people but especially children and their families in being able to process and heal through traumatic and difficult situations. I offer a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental environment for a person to feel valued and heard. I believe that once a person feels safe through a strong therapeutic connection with their therapist, they will begin to communicate which will result in healing. I see people of all ages.

You are lying in your bed at 3:00am and you're not sure what went wrong or how things in your life got so derailed. It seems like there is no end to your worrying, stress and fear. This isn’t how you thought life would unfold for you. You can't connect the dots to how you got here, and you certainly can't envision where to go next for things to feel better. Or maybe you're part of a couple, and you don’t recognize the person lying next to you anymore, and you don’t know what happened in your relationship: you think you loved this person - you know you did love this person - but you have no idea how things got so disconnected.

I work best with individuals who feel drawn to discover their purpose in life, and value having a deep and steady awareness of self. Usually these are people who take things on themselves and may have been putting off therapy. Maybe you're burned out on trying to find the answers on your own. Or perhaps there's a particular challenge you just can't get past, such as an addiction, a toxic relationship or job, depression or fear towards the future.

Traditional therapy models do not always resonate with people nowadays. Mindfulness training, on the other hand, if taught and utilized correctly, is just as effective today as it was thousands of years ago. Controlled breathing can calm us during a busy day at the office. Non judgmental awareness can help us be more patient with ourselves and our families. Meditative techniques such as one-pointedness can improve our focus and clarity. Despite several misconceptions, mindfulness is a practice that we can ALL readily access.

I use a person-centered approach while integrating mindfulness, self-compassion, and body awareness into traditional talk therapy.
One of our most important relationships is the one we have with ourselves. How we talk to ourselves, treat ourselves, and view ourselves impacts our daily living and the relationships around us. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain awareness of how we relate to ourselves and others. We begin to recognize our relational patterns and understand how these patterns were developed and are maintained. Through this self-understanding, we can begin to learn new ways of being with ourselves and others.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
