More about Susan
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, substance or alcohol abuse and mood disorders achieve emotional stability while working towards their life goals. Relief from depression, anxiety or stress from external circumstances is possible with assistance and tools. I started as a therapist working in hospitals helping people at the most pivotal points in their life, whether in rehabilitation from substances or recovering from extreme emotional duress , trauma or mentally destabilizing episode. My goal is to help you identify the next steps to your goals, from whatever point you are at today. Together we can identify your personal strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that have challenged you, whether life long personal beliefs and habits or temporary challenges. External circumstances have magnified obstacles and challenges in recent years. Please reach out and see how I can help.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
