Hello. My name is Suzanna Bagley. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (license number: 180.009943) in the state of Illinois. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia (license number: 0701015857). I started working a therapist in January 2013. I would like to commend you for taking the steps to get yourself the support you seek. It’s not easy to ask for help. Furthermore, it can be hard to get started when you’re not sure what to expect of the therapeutic process. I typically endeavor to meet my clients wherever they’re at to help put them at ease and help them fulfill their therapeutic goals. I would describe myself as easygoing by nature who sometimes uses humor and positivity to lighten the mood whenever it’s appropriate. If I feel it’s therapeutically relevant, I can be direct to help unpack or process whatever you’re working on. Even when discussing tough topics, I am never critical or judgmental. I work to ensure my clients feel heard and validated. Think of me as your sidekick on your journey toward mental health wellness! Here is a little more information about my educational background and therapeutic practice. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in clinical psychology. Depending on my clients’ needs, I utilize the following the theoretical orientations: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy works best for clients who aren’t able to spend much time in therapy and want to find a solution or resolution to any problem they may present in therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy whenever a client’s negative and/or unrealistic thoughts make them anxious and/or affect their mood. I utilize the Trauma-Informed Therapy to anyone who has experienced any sort of long-term trauma. It entails exploring individual triggers; as well as finding the right approach to help the client manage their emotions and move forward in life. For the sake of simplicity, I kept the therapeutic explanations basic but I would be happy to further explain each therapeutic modality via message or in session. If you feel I would be a good fit, I would be honored to work alongside you on your therapeutic journey.
