Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that practices Behaviorism. What that means is that we will work together to target behaviors that can help you improve your current mental state. I want to help you see quantifiable progress from our work together. A little about me: My name is Suzanne. I’m a person that loves the sun, being by water and dogs! In my free time I volunteer with a Great Dane rescue. I enjoy those huge, goofy, couch potato dogs. I’ve moved around a lot and went to school at Syracuse University and graduate school in Washington D.C. I have two decades of experience specializing in trauma, grief, relationship issues, anxiety, addiction and depression. I’ve been heavily involved in working with military, veterans and first responders. You are the subject matter expert in what you need and I will supply tools, support, information and backing. We will work together on making goals and action steps on how to reach your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will get to know eachother and see if we are a good fit moving forward. I will ask many questions (please ask me anything) and then I will explain my idea on how we can start working towards a plan for treatment.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I'm a Health Coach. What this means is we can process deep core beliefs, when not forgetting about day-to-day issues that effect your mental health. I also specialize in addiction and can help you in your own recovery or we can work on issues if you have a loved one with addiction.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm a warm person that doesn't pass judgement. I feel like there is always hope for the future and change.
