Susie Switzer
I work extensively with people to assist them with improving relationships, work to improve management of anxiety, anger management while improving self-confidence, and self-esteem. I also work with depressive-based symptoms and teach coping and improved thought processes to create a lifelong change to your ability to meet your needs. Together, we will identify what's not working and get you back to a baseline that works for you. I work holistically, my therapy provides tools to support needs within yourself, your relationships, and your family dynamic. If you're dealing with overwhelming emotions and feelings, hurtful relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I also have many years experience working with people with Autism as well as all Applied Behavioral modalities. When a person is seeking therapy, this is a huge leap of faith towards asking for help that I deeply respect and admire. I will provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space for you to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will always meet you “where you are” and provide strength-based solutions through evidence-based techniques so you can overcome and move forward in your life. Let's get started!
My goal is to ensure that each client makes measurable progress as fast as possible through open discussions, worksheets and book suggestions for self-help.
First session
In our first session together, will start with brief introductions and then begin exploration of the specific challenges you are facing. As we are talking, I am developing a tailored plan for us to work through in each follow up session. You as the client are the focus and each goal and objective will be strength based for your future.
Strengths
My strengths are in teaching skills to empower yourself to make the choices you feel are best for you. I work with populations with personality disorders, Autism, behavioral needs, anxiety depression, OCD, ODD and many other named issues. I have worked with Adults, teens, children, couples and families. I pride myself on being well-rounded in many areas and if I find I cant answer a question I do the research to be a better therapist. I will work hard to be what you need.
Ideal clients
I am generalized in many areas and enjoy working with all types of people. I work to support everyone in their idea of their best life and their unmet needs. I am a strong ally for the LGBTQ+ community and I have 30 years experience working with Autism based behaviors. I am credentialed as a Parenting Coach , a trained Advocacy coach and I am a Credentialed Case Management Supervisor for the state of FL. I can assist in many arenas!
