Written on Aug 14, 2024 after therapy with Susan for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

The past few months would have been impossible to handle if not for my weekly meetings with Susan. Susan listens to me, allows me to go in any direction that I may need for our conversation, and explains the psychology of what is going on - which I find truly helpful. Susan encourages me in ways that I have not felt encouraged by anyone else for a long time. I'm grateful to have found her and have her with me to navigate these challenging times.
