Hello, I'm Suzette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in supporting individuals through challenges such as sports performance, depression, anxiety, women’s issues, life transitions, and stress management. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to explore your unique experiences and work toward your personal goals. My approach is tailored to your needs, helping you overcome obstacles and unlock your potential for a more balanced, fulfilling life.
In your first session, we’ll focus on understanding your unique challenges and goals. You can expect to gain personalized insights and practical strategies to address your immediate needs. We’ll start by building self-awareness and setting clear objectives for our work together, laying a solid foundation for your journey and helping you begin to unlock your potential for future growth.
My greatest strengths as a provider are honesty, directness, humor, and a nonjudgmental approach. I excel in guiding individuals through life transitions, helping them to navigate challenges and make meaningful progress. With a focus on managing stress and building balance, I support you in overcoming obstacles and making meaningful progress.
I use solution-focused therapy to help clients make positive changes by focusing on their strengths and goals. We work together to find practical solutions and take steps toward achieving your desired outcomes in a supportive and friendly therapeutic environment.
In our sessions, we'll be using a therapeutic approach called strengths-based therapy, which means we'll emphasize and build upon your individual talents and positive qualities to address challenges and reach your goals. This approach is rooted in the belief that you have the inner resources to make meaningful changes in your life, and together, we'll tap into these strengths to drive positive transformations. My role is to guide and support you in harnessing these abilities to achieve the outcomes you desire.
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and transforming thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to your challenges. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and emotions, develop practical strategies to address them, and work towards positive change.
In our sessions, we'll explore mindfulness-based therapy, which is like a mental workout for staying in the present moment. It's about becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings without being too hard on yourself. By practicing mindfulness, you'll not only learn how to manage stress and tough emotions but also gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop useful tools for improving your well-being.
