"I specialize in working with children, teens and individual adults who might be struggling with transitions in their lives. This may mean developmental changes, changes in the marital relationship or teens transitioning into adulthood. I work with families who are intact, separating or divorced parents. Understanding each family's unique dynamic and applying the appropriate therapeutic technique is my specialty."

"Personal peace starts with a shift in perspective. There is nothing wrong with you. Your life is designed to help you, not block you, in developing confidence, loving boundaries and an open heart. Our work, including elements of forgiveness, grief and personal empowerment, gives you permission to have compassion and support for yourself first, no matter what messages the world and your childhood have trained you to believe. Life happens FOR us, not TO us. I do understand, I have tools to help and I am committed to your peace of mind."

""Are the problems in my life because of the people around me, or is there something wrong with me?" Susan uses a combination of the TEAM Cognitive approach and the 'Gottman Method' when working with individuals and couples. My current training with the Feeling Good Institute, TEAM, has energized my work and led to higher levels of client satisfaction. The Gottman Institute bases their therapeutic techniques on 30 years of observational research conducted by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. "It's about taking a fresh, often simplified look at the way we explain the situations around us.""

"Therapy can be a great way to work through issues you might be having in your own life, in your relationship, or in your family. We are constantly affected by those closest (and sometimes farthest!) from us. These relationships can be helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between. Finding your way in the context of these relationships can help bring a sense of contentment to your life. I provide a supportive and respectful environment where you can do this important work."

"I have had much success with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and difficulties managing life stress. I use a CBT approach combined with Holistic interventions such as using diet, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and relaxation. I provide psycho-education regarding the physiology of stress and the mind/body continuum. Much focus is given to self regulation and staying focused/ goal directed as a way of achieving happiness and self fulfillment. There is a great deal of focus on self-acceptance and "How to be happy even though life will never be perfect.""

"Though it may seem impossible at times, everyone is capable of change. Therapy can help any person develop a greater sense of self, while enhancing an innate ability to endure and thrive in life. I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults, and have a strong background in the treatment of disordered eating, distorted body image, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict and adjustment disorders. Our work together will be based on your unique personality and will aim to alleviate symptoms as we work in tandem to understand the roots of your presenting problems."

"Relationships are the key to happiness and to a rich and rewarding life. This includes your relationship with yourself as well as with loved ones. If you feel stuck in negative patterns and would like to better understand - and then change - some of the things you do and feel, I can help. I offer a warm and accepting environment within which to explore your feelings and issues. Out of this exploration will come a deep knowledge and understanding of your true and unique self which you can then manifest in the world."

"Hello and welcome! My focus as a therapist is an overall sense of well being. Mental health that is free of stress, depression, anxiety, and worry can create a life filled with personal satisfaction. Alleviating racing, sad, and worrisome thoughts can help individuals find joy in day-to-day activities and relationships and create a more rewarding and fulfilling life. I support individuals in a non-judgmental environment where they can build a strong sense of self and work through problematic issues."

"I have spent the past couple of years working with children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 18 with various diagnoses. I have experience working with children on the Autism Spectrum, ADHD, Anxiety and can help providing the tools to work on low self-esteem, and stress management. Working as a school counselor, I am also experienced in college and career counseling."

"We are bombarded with messages daily that we are not good enough just as we are. When we don't feel good about ourselves, our self-esteem and relationships can often pay the price. But there can be healing; we can learn to speak to ourselves with more kindness, and our relationships can once again flourish. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am uniquely able to understand the complex relationships between all the areas of your life."

"I have worked with adolescents and individuals with behavioral and emotional disturbances in a variety of roles since 2010. I have worked with these individuals, as well as their families, in a clinical role since 2016. I work with individuals who are facing problems ranging from unhealthy attachment to explosive behaviors, to overcome the issues plaguing them every day. I work with my clients to understand the root causes of these issues, as well as healthy ways in which to address and overcome them. I help clients live healthy, happy and authentic lives. "

"If anger, sadness or fear/anxiety feels unmanageable, I can help. If you feel like it's time for a change, even if you aren't sure what exactly that change is, I can help. If you are struggling with transitioning into early, middle or late adulthood, or to cope with any of the issues that come along with these stages, I can help. Through awareness of the content of your thoughts & restructuring them, you can feel better. Full disclosure: it's not easy. It's a practice; one that I can help with."

"Establishing a trusting relationship and an environment that is warm and supportive where clients feel safe and motivated to engage in their therapeutic journey is my essential goal. My approach to therapy is formulated by the uniqueness of the person, along with the uniqueness of the environmental and familial systems within which they have developed. Over the past 17 years I have worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples and have treated several mental health conditions. Some conditions that I am more closely acquainted with include: Autism, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, ADHD, Self-Esteem, Identity, Relationship/Family Challenges, and Clinical Supervision."

"Strength based, individual and family counseling services for adolescents and adults to support emotional growth and healing through a positive process of self-discovery, empowerment and problem solving."

"I have been practicing for 7 years and truly enjoy meeting and helping people. I believe that all of us are different and am open to utilizing unique therapy tools in order to reach out and work with each situation as it presents. Throughout my years of practice I have met many people and learned about myself as well. I believe that we work together for a reason and a season. I am open to do Christian faith-based sessions for anyone who is seeking connections to their faith in therapy."

"With over 30 years of clinical experience, I believe I offer my clients a blend of wisdom and knowledge, intuition and heart, humility and humor. When a client tells me, "You saved my life," I say "No, you saved your own life." What I will take credit for is providing you with a place, a person you can come to trust. Because of that trust you will be able to face, explore and resolve tough issues/problems/symptoms. By creating a strong therapist-client bond, we will set the foundation for a more confident, resilient self to emerge."

"It is truly a privilege to be invited into the lives of others during a therapy session. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my philosophy of psychological treatment is based upon an empathic and compassionate therapeutic rapport which I consider the primary vehicle to interpersonal understanding, change and healing. I utilize a multi-modal approach grounded in psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral technique."

"Since you’re looking for a therapist, my best guess is that you’re tired of your current level of suffering. Entertainment, diversions, substances, processes, and relationships don’t stop you from suffering. Neither do self-help books, one-day seminars, or promises of instant ‘cure-alls.’ For real help, there needs to be an axe laid to the root of what causes you suffering: false beliefs, and ideas about: yourself, others, and the future. You’re taught to believe that you have a permanent identity (called the ego), and that if you pursue its desires and avoid its aversions, you’ll be happy. How has that worked for you so far? In my transpersonal therapy practice, I work to lay bare the roots of the ego, and to show clients there is a different way to live. You can live a mindful, present-oriented life, where unnecessary suffering is gradually banished permanently. This includes any suffering due to depression, anxiety, and past painful experiences. I work with individuals age 23 plus, and offer weekly Stress Reduction Groups (see Groups for details). I also do brainstorming with business owners on how to improve business relationships."
