Hello! I'm Suzanne and so glad that you have reached out and have an interest in therapy. I am currently practicing in Texas. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I have previously worked with children and families who have experienced a traumatic event or injury in a medical setting as well as with children who have experienced physical, sexual abuse or witnessed a violent crime. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and children who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and experiencing a traumatic event.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
It is of upmost importance to me that you feel welcomed, comfortable and safe when you come for therapy. We will spend time discussing your history and what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain. Working together we will crate a treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a combination of evidence based therapeutic modalities. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with advanced training in protocols with children and adolescents. I find it helpful to integrate solution-focused therapy as well as mindfulness. I am very excited to be offering Sand Tray Therapy as well!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths that I hear from my clients is that I truly care for them and their healing. I am open to learning from my clients as they are the experts of their experience.
