Hi. My name is Susan Jarvis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Pennsylvania and Colorado. I have over 20 years of experience working with people struggling with mental heath issues. I have worked in environments that have allowed me to gain experience in a variety of mental health diagnoses and symptoms. I feel that my strongest attributes are compassion and a non-judgmental approach. I believe all people have strengths and are unique. Life is very difficult and we can all become lost at times. I absolutely believe there is hope.
I am a person who has had my own struggles with the challenges of life. I feel that without experiencing life's difficulties, how can I possibly understand my clients. I can empathize and help you to begin your journey to healing by gaining awareness and control. It does get better!
I utilize several therapeutic techniques in my practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-based Therapy. I am a compassionate and supportive therapist who truly cares for the people I'm working with.
I look forward to getting to know you working with you to find your way through this complicated journey of life.

Susan is so kind, genuinely encouraging and an intentional listener. She has helped me through so many different seasons of life, from creating boundaries to protect my relationships and my mental health - to supporting me through difficulties in my marriage and in the workplace. She affirms my feelings, validates my situation and encourages me in who I am along with the decisions I can make/do make. She doesn’t rush me along to the next thing but helps me look at the good, while offering hope for the future days to come. When I needed encouragement and support the most, she provides that and takes the time to ask me good questions to understand me more and more. She is patient with the process and is compassionate with me even when I’m stuck. I’ve never been so thankful for such consistent support and encouragement. Thank you, Susan. You make a difference in my life and in the lives of people around me, whether they know it or not. ❤️

Susan has helped me through many things, including new mental health diagnoses and illnesses. She related to me and talking to her felt like a good friend.

Just started therapy with Susan, and I have to say that I think it will be a good fit. She listens without judgement, has been through it all herself.. so she’s able to actually give you good advice.
