Substance Use Therapists in Flourtown, PA
Choosing a therapist is a difficult decision. Instead of telling you how I work, I decided to ask some of my patients to describe it in their words. "Susan is so down to earth that I feel like I'm talking to a good friend." "She really cares about her patients." "She makes it easy to talk about things that are very difficult to say out loud." "She is non-judgemental, kind, intelligent and professional." "After working with Susan my life is now moving in a positive direction." "Most importantly she has helped me to parlay the skills we've worked on into my life."

As both an artist and a therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where teens can be real about what they’re going through—from stress and anxiety to more serious struggles like self-harm, grief, or feeling hopeless. My approach is warm, creative, and collaborative, blending CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with compassion and flexibility. I help teens and their families move through challenges with resilience, whether they’re navigating stress, anxiety, self-discovery, or questions of identity. I am especially affirming of LGBTQ+ youth and provide a safe space for them to explore who they are.

Does this sound familiar? You’re constantly juggling demands, pushing yourself to meet others’ expectations, yet feeling drained and unseen. Setting boundaries feels difficult, and expressing your needs even more so. Caught in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt, you often feel different or out of place. Exhaustion lingers, but rest never feels like an option. Instead, you find yourself zoning out—scrolling, binge-watching, or shopping—just to catch a moment of quiet. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone, and support is within reach.

Validating and normalizing therapy and mental health in the black and poc community is a passion of mine. As someone who has personal experience trying to understand and navigate mental health in a family/community that is taught to stay quiet, I believe it is my duty to help guide others to find their voice. I want to teach others that therapy is okay, having mental health issues is okay, and ultimately it is okay to not be okay!

When we truly know ourselves, the underlying motivations for our actions, and the subconscious fears that drive us, we can begin to exercise more control over our lives and move towards self-actualization. Mental illness is often defined through a lens of dysfunction, yet, even if we were able to remove all of the dysfunction from one's life, the experience of needing support would still be present for many people. My goal is not only to make sure my clients are functioning at their best, but also that they feel strong, genuine, and intentional while doing it.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
