I have a passion for working with premarital and marital couples. I understand that couples' ability or inability to communicate and problem solve will be passed on to the next generation.

I desire to be a part of that process by collaborating with clients and providing techniques and strategies that will support effective communication.

Hi! My name is Suzanne Anderson, LMFT-S. Life can seem like a difficult road when you feel like you are traveling alone. Whether you’re experiencing the normal stress of daily living, or you have faced a traumatic event in your life, my goal is to partner with you in moving toward health and healing. My approach is client centered and solution-focused to empower my clients to heal and to achieve their goals. I have extensive experience and training in treating trauma and other common co-occurring symptoms including grief, anxiety and depression.

Everyday is a fresh start! I most certainly believe that Seasons Change and so do You! Often times when grief, toxic relationships overtake and break our hearts; caregiving stretches us, depression and anxiety infiltrate our minds; self-esteem and the inability to express thoughts and feelings; emotions overtake our voice; clients find themselves hiding in the shadows; just existing and not living; doing and not being. Learning to live within your desired lifestyle, gaining your voice, awareness, and setting goals to lead a mindful and healthier lifestyle innately inspires clients to move forward in whatever season they're facing.

Hi there! I have been helping people improve their overall well-being through the use of various forms of psychotherapy.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by life's relentless demands? You're not alone. We, as women of color, face the journey of balancing personal aspirations with family obligations, which can leave us feeling isolated, weary, and at odds with our self-worth. But this isn't only a challenge; it's an opportunity for transformation. It's not just about 'getting by'—it’s about thriving. You deserve to prioritize your mental health not as a luxury but as a fundamental right.

I believe that change happens when people are given the guidance to draw on their own strengths. I uses a collaborative approach to help assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment.

I am a firm believer in the power of the stories that we tell about ourselves and our experiences. Sometimes experiences like changes in relationship status, career changes, new education experiences, or entering a new phase of life can cause us to buy into a negative story narrated by our inner critic, leading to symptoms like racing thoughts, low energy, decreased feelings of self-worth, etc.. In sessions we will examine how past, present, and ongoing experiences shape your current story and identity. Together we will work to create a new story that includes your identified values, strengths, life goals, and accomplishments.
