About me

Hello, my name is Susan. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, where I have worked in the mental health community for 20 years. I have experience helping a wide range of clients and families with a wide variety of issues to include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and trauma of abuse, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

As a therapist, I prefer to use a client-centered approach to treatment because I believe clients need to be heard and listened to at a deep level. This allows them to hear themselves undeniable them to resolve their pain and reach of real healing. I am able to effectively and seamlessly incorporate cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-based therapy, grief therapy, parenting education throughout our sessions, based on your goals. Your unique needs are of the highest importance in the therapy relationship. I will keep us focused on practical solutions and lasting change.

You are brave to reach out for help! You have taken the right first step to healing. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I would be honored to be your guide through your healing process.

Only 2 sessions in and Susan has given me many good ideas and plans to move in the right direction. Helping me understand problems aren’t resolved in a minute, this is a whole life and there is work to be done. Thanks!

She has always been extremely kind, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. She listens, empathizes, and challenges (when appropriate).

Even when I feel like I don't have anything to work on, Susan knows the right questions to ask. She listens SO WELL and can see past my messy emotions to help me understand what is really going on. I am just so impressed with her skills! We have been working together for 6 or 7 months now and I feel so much better and more healthy than when I started. I highly recommend Susan, especially to anyone who is new to Betterhelp.

Susan is amazing. She is respectful and caring. She truly takes the time to make sure you are heard and feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone needing a therapist who knows how to talk to your inner self.
