Susan helped me so much when I was in a rough patch!

I'm so grateful that I connected with Susan. I was going through a very rough time and my mind had become so scattered and chaotic. She has helped me to realign my priorities and helped me to focus on myself. Since I have been doing my sessions with Susan I have been able to reconnect with myself. I have a better sense of where I would like to be and im working on how to get there. It's still a work in progress but I'm glad that I'm on my journey to heal.

I have been very wary of therapy before because I believe although people need therapy, it always has a bad rep and is misinterpreted as something for people who are “not normal”. I beg to question, what is normal? As a Hispanic first born daughter brought up on old customs, I would think that I had to fix everything and Susan provided insight that allowed me to understand that I could “fix” myself to help better my situation. It’s still a work in progress but had I not searched for help myself, I would’ve never realized I had to adjust my own outlook from within. Susan works as a team with you, she never makes it seem like she’s above you, she meets you at your level, and has such a great way of speaking and redirecting the conversation to target whatever goal or topic you have in each session. Her expertise truly shows within the first session for sure!

She is highly recommended as a grief counselor. She listens and explains so I understand the emotional situation i am feeling and struggling with. She is well knowledge-based on the subject.

Written on Jan 18, 2024 after therapy with Susan for 1 year and 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Ms. Susan is my first ever therapist and I am very glad to have her. She is gentle with her approach but she doesn’t condone with any behaviours or thoughts that might be harmful to my mental and physical health. It’s a good sign of a good therapist: gentle yet firm. She is one of the people that inspires me to start and keep going with my career path as a therapist. It was very difficult to start therapy, even as a psychology/counseling student because I don’t like to admit that there is something I need to work on about myself. Therefore, it’s extremely important to have a therapist that can walk me through all the problems and give me the tools to deal with them, without needing help 24/7 from others. Susan helps me see many perspectives of life, which is such an eye-opening moment to know that there is no one answer-fit-all. Instead of changing who I am, therapy with Susan helps me improve the good side and improve the not-so-good side of me. She didn’t question me why I didn’t seek help earlier. Instead, she told me that it was the right time for me to seek therapy because I was ready. I love that she helped me see how beautiful it is to love and to be loved, and every relationship has a value to my life, even the one that failed. As someone in their early 20s, I really need to have a guidance from people who are caring, knowledgeable, and experienced. I am lucky to have Susan to be one of those people.

Susan is very good at what she does. I was apprehensive about returning to therapy sessions but she was very disarming and non judgmental. She took the time to listen to what I was feeling and offered multiple tools and resources to help me along my journey. I highly recommend her.

Susan and I immediately had a rapport that I did not have with another therapist. She is quick to react, empathetic and sympathetic but also offers real resources. Her help has been appreciated very much, along with her humor and wise words. Thoroughly recommend her.

Susan is an empathetic listener who was able to pick up on subtle cues in my introductory questionnaire to pinpoint a solid starting point for my therapy. She got to the root of my troubles quickly and efficiently, and was able to provide encouragement and resources to help me work on addressing them. I highly recommend Susan for anyone looking for support.

Once we started listening to each other we had really good sessions. Susan started the conversation off with text book answers and I got a little defensive. Again, once we got beyond our bumpy start its been great conversations and insightful suggestions.

Susan has been helping me a lot so far, with understanding myself more, while listening very carefully. She takes my goals into account and gives me very helpful practice exercises that I have incorporated in my daily life. I have been growing faster and more confidently since seeing her.

Written on Jan 09, 2022 after therapy with Susan for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Susan helped me through an incredibly difficult time when I felt like no one else could. From multiple therapists, to family and friends, I felt lost and like no one could give me any real guidance. Susan gave me the tools I needed to aid in my grief but also the space and permission to feel my feelings. I am forever grateful.

I went through a few therapists and was about to give up on BetterHelp but I decided to messaged one last therapist, Susan. I am very glad that I did. It was not that the other therapists were mean or bad, I simply did not feel connected to them. Susan really understands my issues. She listens so well and offers me solid input, advice, and tools I can use moving forward. She has helped me make big, necessary changes in my life. She has been a support system that I did not know I would lean on so heavily. She checks in on me throughout the week. She goes above and beyond to find other resources for me in my local area. I have found a gem of a therapist and I almost don't want to share, but honestly, I cannot recommend Susan enough.
