Suzonne Whedbee
I am an individual, couple, and family therapist with experience helping people find solutions to a wide array of presenting problems. I specialize in working with: Teenagers and Adults struggling with self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, loss of hope, Couple and family/relationship issues dealing with family stressors, blended families, and parenting/co-parenting issues. I have worked extensively with families with child and adolescent problems. I believe the most effective and efficient way to help a person is to involve other members of their family so that the family reinforces any program of change.

At Family Solutions Counseling, my practice is faith-based. My faith and life experiences are why I chose to become a Counselor. I also approach client concerns from a Solution-focused perspective. We all possess strengths and resources that can be used to attain personal growth and overcome life's challenges. Each person is doing the best they can considering the context they live in and the relationships that exist in their lives. My job is not to judge but to build a level of trust, provide support, encourage the client to feel safe in expressing symptoms, and help find solutions.
First session
The first session is when we get to know each other better and I find out more about why you are choosing therapy. I always tell my clients that the therapeutic relationship is a vital part of therapy. The first session lets the client determine if they feel that connection to open up and move forward in therapy with me as their counselor.

Treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy is future-focused and goal-directed and focuses on solutions rather than on the problems that brought clients to seek therapy.
