I enjoy working with people who feel “stuck”in certain behaviors or situations, like addictions, depression, or obsessive and compulsive behavior - behavior that tends to undermine their sense of worth. I like working with adults and adolescents, couples, and families. People who have issues related to religious beliefs or matters of faith are another area of specialty.

Let's be honest, anxiety, panic, and trauma symptoms are a bitch. You may know exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, expecting the worst, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Trauma and chronic stress shape your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, body, and nervous system. Through EMDR therapy and nervous system-informed, somatic approaches, I'll help your system learn that the danger is over. I believe healing happens through self-compassion, not self-criticism. You don't need to be fixed. You deserve to be understood, not judged. That's where healing begins.

You are moving along thinking you have it all together when suddenly a trigger happens and everything you thought you knew goes out the window. You start doubting yourself and telling yourself I should be over this by now. Why am I feeling this again? You appear capable and put-together on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected inside. You are recognizing your unhelpful patterns but insight alone doesn’t bring relief. The inner critics calm briefly but eventually come back. You have reached a place where insight alone isn't working for you anymore and you are ready to stop being derailed from the life you want.

Additionally, I work with parents to strengthen communication, build confidence, and create healthier family dynamics.
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, like you’re functioning on the outside but struggling internally? Many teens and adults I work with feel stuck in survival mode: overthinking, shutting down, feeling emotionally reactive, or carrying past experiences into the present. I provide EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety. EMDR helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences so they feel less intense and no longer drive present-day reactions. You do not have to relive every detail for healing to occur. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced, and focused on helping you feel grounded, safe, and more in control.

We all have challenges in life but some seasons of difficulties require objectives and professional support, insight and encouragement in order to persevere. Counseling with a caring and compassionate individual can be enlightening, strengthening and just the encouragement needed to continue though this journey called life. Sue Warwick has worked in the helping profession for over 30 years. She had counseled in group practice before starting her own private practice called Crossroads Counseling and Consultation almost 9 years ago.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
