LP, 30 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Sue Fry Van Rheenen, a licensed Psychologist in Nevada City, California. I have 30 plus years of experience working with adults, couples and youth. I have experience in working with a wide range of concerns that include depression, anxiety and self-esteem. My focus is exploring and identifying those patterns of behavior that interfere with one's ability to find balance and productivity. I work with my clients to change these patterns and to establish a new way of being where happiness can be better realized. My goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where my client can meet those challenges that require courage and patience. I am here to support you in this process.
The first session would be an opportunity for us to meet and to decide if working with me would satisfy your needs.
I approach each client respecting that it is their story and I have been given the opportunity to share in this story. My strengths are that I have worked extensively with individuals including young adults and couples. An integral part of my approach is to consider diversity and how these differences impact one's life.
My ideal client is one who is willing to consider making changes that would be designed to improve relational interactions and work experiences.
I approach mental health recovery from a position of exploring the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep an individual stuck in a non-productive position.
I have done extensive work with couples to help build better communication practices leading to more positive interactions.
Client centered therapy is my focus where the person can gain insight and awareness coupled with confidence to change.
I am a strong believer to a systems approach and implement for those that are in the process of individuating from family of origin with consideration of cultural expectations.
