Individual Therapy

Deciding to seek therapy is a brave step, and I’m glad you’ve taken it. Whether you’re searching for support with mental health, emotional well-being, or personal growth, I’m here to help guide you through the process.

With 16 years of clinical case management and counseling experience, I specialize in helping individuals who are facing substance use, working to heal from trauma, PTSD or C-PTSD, as well as individuals struggling with attachment issues, depression, or anxiety. I’m also certified in trauma-informed yoga, breath-work, mindfulness practices, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, any of which we can explore incorporating into our work together if you choose. My goal is to work with you to create a path forward that honors your unique journey.

A cornerstone of my practice is helping individuals explore and deepen their mind-body connection using various somatic tools and techniques. Understanding how trauma and chronic stress impact your physiology is crucial to the healing process. By gaining these insights, you can develop skills to find greater stability and balance within yourself.

Our initial consultation is a valuable opportunity for us to connect and assess if we are a good therapeutic match. During our first session, I invite you to share your reasons for seeking therapy and treatment goals. I’ll also gather some background information to better understand your unique life experiences and personal history. Together, we’ll collaborate on creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This is also an ideal time for you to ask any questions about my professional background, therapeutic approach, or the overall therapy process. Your comfort and understanding are my priorities as we embark on this journey toward healing and personal growth.

What To Expect

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process; thus, my approach is clinical yet conversational. My background is rooted in a combination of modalities, including mindfulness, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, CBT, EMDR, and KAP among others. Together we will explore and determine what approaches feel right for you, starting where ever and however you are ready.

Types of Therapy

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful tool for addressing and healing from past traumatic experiences or distressing memories. EMDR is particularly effective for those healing from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, and depression. We can integrate EMDR with other therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.

  • My approach is grounded in mind-body techniques, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a deeper mind-body connection. Trauma can significantly disrupt the central nervous system, and understanding how to recognize and re-regulate your unique trauma responses is crucial in the therapeutic journey. By addressing these disruptions, we can enhance your emotional resilience and support effective trauma recovery.

  • As adults, our relationships can be deeply influenced by early attachment wounds. If you're experiencing challenges in maintaining healthy relationships, we can explore these issues through the lens of attachment theory to better understand your attachment style and relational patterns. This approach can help you develop greater stability and security in your key relationships. Additionally, we can focus on enhancing your communication skills and boundary setting to foster more fulfilling and balanced connections.

  • To me, mindfulness is an expansive concept that encompasses a range of practices designed to address the challenges of our fast-paced, overstimulated world. Many of us experience anxiety, exhaustion, and cognitive overload. Learning and integrating mindfulness-based practices can help you slow down, recharge, and "practice the pause." These techniques are essential for breaking cycles of overthinking, rumination, and anxious thought patterns, allowing for greater mental clarity and emotional balance.

  • Having personally experienced the profound effects of trauma, I approach our work together with a trauma-informed perspective. No matter where you are in your healing journey, you will be met with empathy, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a supportive environment that acknowledges your unique experiences and fosters trust and safety throughout the therapeutic process.

  • Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, or KAP, is a form of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy that combines safe, legal ketamine treatment and dedicated psychotherapy sessions. KAP addresses the root causes of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions for positive, safe, and longer lasting clinical outcomes.

What Client’s Are Saying…

  • Susie never makes me feel weird for any feelings I share. She normalizes and validates my experiences and has given me so many tools to use to help me manage and regulate my emotions and responses. I feel like we are building each week vs. re-starting every session.

    - Anonymous

  • I haven't met with Susie in a few months yet she has reached out to check in with me. This is so appreciated! Just knowing she has checked in has been huge for me. It's very comforting to know someone is concerned about me.

    - Anonymous

  • I started practicing box breathing at night, and I am now able to really quiet my mind and get to sleep. This practice is now part of my evening routine, and I even look forward to it. I started turning the TV off while I’m breathing because I feel like it really helps me get even more present and relaxed

    - Ray
