My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach primarily combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and supportive therapy. I always customize my counseling to meet the unique and specific needs of my clients.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Dr. Murati is kind, gracious and down to earth. She has been supporting me after a series of traumatic events left me shattered and is helping me to put the pieces back together and recenter myself. I can actually breathe again. Thank you Susan.

Dr. Murati has been a lifesaver for me. As a man in my 50s, I never felt comfortable talking to much about my feelings but it came natural in a very beneficial way during a therapy sessions. I learned a lot about myself and I was shown many different techniques to assist me with my worries and issues. The techniques have been affective and my life has gotten better. Dr. Murati was a good listener and gave solid useful advice. I felt very protected when I spoke with her and felt confident that she was very attentive to my situation, and paid close attention to my needs from session to session. I highly recommend her and I am so grateful for her treatment.

I feel that Dr. Murati really listens and cares about my my mental health and cares very much about my improvement . She’s a fabulous listener and fabulous advisor, and I think I hit the jackpot with her. I enjoy our sessions and look forward to them. I was going to opt out of this after I signed up but before I met her, and I’m glad I didn’t.

I have tried to seek help from many therapists and I can say without a doubt that Dr. Murati is the best therapist I've ever met. She talks to me too so it doesn't feel as one sided, and understands and respects my beliefs, she listens well and always gives me helpful and encouraging advice. I would highly recommend her to others, albeit a bit hesitantly but only for the fear that she won't have enough time for me! Can't say enough good things about her, excellent person and all around amazing at her job. :)

I'm so happy that Dr. Murati and I were matched! I can't explain it, but it's as if she's someone I knew and she knew me, before meeting through BetterHelp. She's a Kindred Spirit and is extremely supportive and has a deep understanding of how I'm feeling and always shows me ways to deal with my feelings, that hadn't occurred to me.
Her breadth of knowledge and her ability to relate to you in any situation you may be dealing with is warm, empathetic and grounded. I can't reccomend her enough!
I have also reccomended BetterHelp to my friends who are struggling and need someone who will listen.

Great therapist! Helped me see things that were cloudy for me prior to our sessions and we connected. No more than 7 sessions and I felt a lot better about my life. Thank you Ms. Susan!

So far, I have had great experiences with Dr. Murati. Dr. Murati listens to understand, and responds thoughtfully. I can tell that Dr. Murati is very experienced in her practice and field. Personally, I enjoy doing “homework” with materials (worksheets, book chapters) that Dr. M sends to me because it gives me more independent time to reflect on my experiences. I am looking forward to continuing my sessions with Dr. M.

Wonderful woman who has helped me deeply. I highly recommend Dr. Murati to anyone who needs support/ help

She is AMAZING! She has helped me out so much in the last 2 months, and I can't express the gratitude I have for her enough. She completely understands what I'm going through, and has helped me remember who I am and what I'm worth. I owe her for the ability to move forward with my life instead of feeling like I am confined to where I was when I started talking to her.

I've only had a few sessions with Dr. Murati but she's done amazing exercises with me and already helped me find ways to work on improving my mentality and negativity. I would reccomend her and better health to anyone and everyone. Especially my fellow adhd brains where typical methods of therapy are very non adhd friendly, the chat/message features have been a key asset, allowing me to brain dump ahead of time and Dr. Murati to give me a kind word of encouragement and prep for our next session. Plus all the reminders via text and app notification! I honestly feel like I'm getting so much out of my sessions already. Again, betterhelp and Dr. Murati both, 10/10 would reccomend.

I've had a few different therapists before, and Dr. Murati is my favorite. She's been a great help when I have real issues in my life, but also helps me with general self-improvement. It has been very eye-opening, and I am in a much better place than when I started therapy!
