Testimonials

Been seeing Susan for just a short time, but already I’m feeling her “magic!” Not only do I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, but this warm, sweet, insightful woman has given me the tools to get through all that ails me.

I came to Susan after a referral from my Employee Assistance Program. My expectations were pretty high, since the EAP counselor spoke so highly of her. Susan put me at ease right away. I felt like she really cared! Her office and waiting room feel warm and inviting. She has been so great to work with. Susan helped me get through a very difficult time and I highly recommend her to anyone.

After being in therapy with many different therapists over the years, I found Susan after being referred by a friend. I immediately felt comfortable with her and I could tell that I finally found someone who could give me the support and guidance I needed. Susan has a much more approachable style that the other therapists I’ve seen and  has really helped me to refocus my life in a positive direction. I am so grateful I found Susan and I have referred her to so many of my friends who have also had wonderful experiences with her. 

I am so grateful that we found Susan. She has been a valuable resource to us and a huge comfort to our daughter. She is patient and understanding and is working hard to help our daughter learn skills that will help her thrive and excell through her social challenges. Susan is not a therapist on autopilot, she cares about her patients and is constantly thinking of ways to help them.

Susan has been a life changing force for me. I have spent my entire life, forty-something years dealing with anxiety, panic-disorder and depression. I have been to multiple therapists throughout this time, trying to get to the root cause of these things, to no avail. Susan is different. During the two years I have been working with her, she has served as a catalyst for positive change. She is helping me find and heal the root of my emotional pain, and the reasons for repetitive behaviors in relationships that have continued to cause me pain. In addition, she has an uncanny knack for knowing what I need and where to go for it. I have a hard-time calling her a therapist, because she is far more than that. Susan is the perfect person to help you take a good hard look hard at yourself to find your truth with a counselor who will support you, guide you and care for you through the process. I don’t know how I was so fortunate to find someone like this. The biggest issue I am facing these days is feeling so amazing, I need to search for other things she can help me with. I am living my life in ways I never imagined possible two years ago.
