Hi! My name is Susan, I am a mother of two adult children, married and have been a therapist for 19 years. I am certified in EMDR and I am IFS informed. I also have training in DBT, CBT and mindfulness practices. My area of practice is addressing unresolved childhood trauma in adults. I do not work with couples, teens or children. If you are considering my services, It is important that you schedule a free 15 minute consultation using this link to be sure we are in alignment with each other. https://calendly.com/susan-flower-riding-the-rainbow-llc/30min or call me at 623-288-4639. I am happy to explain my on-boarding process and answer any questions you may have to insure that we are on the same page.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will do my own onboarding process during our pre- intake consultation and will have you sign my own consents from my private practice. I may include additional assessments once I know what your unique struggles may be. You can also ask as many questions about how therapy works, my training, background and experience. If we determine that we want to work together we will meet for the scheduled intake.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a good listener and will treat you with respect during our work together as we are partners in this process. I have a good understanding of trauma and how it affects clients physically and mentally. I continue to learn new information by engaging in training and networking with other professionals in my field. I am very open, honest and will admit that I am not perfect and will collaborate with you willingly on any concerning matters that come may come up. If you are willing to work hard we can do great things together.

EMDR
I am certified in EMDR therapy. This type of therapy can help to remove underlying negative messages that came about through past trauma. It also lessens the impact of traumatic memories for the client over a period of time by processing the experiences through eight structured phases. When we meet, I will provide a very clear picture of what therapy will look like for you so that you feel empowered and ready to work.

Parts Work helps us identify, accept and learn about the parts of ourselves that contribute to feeling "stuck" in our life and relationships. These parts have helped us survive in a stressful childhood and are performing roles that may not be helpful in our present life. We can kindly and creatively redirect these parts for healthy coping for the present.
