Susan P.

Business Owner

I use a eclectic holistic approach in working with clients. My focus in treatment is to build a relationship with each client which enhances feelings of self worth, self reliance, and self empowerment. Each individual brings with them a different set of needs as they embark upon the psychotherapeutic process. My aim is to understand what those needs are, find ways to meet those needs, while establishing goals for treatment.

I strive to support my clients fully, by being a dependable, focused, consistent, positive force in their lives. A person grows through connection, understanding, consistency and genuine caring.

I specialize in treating adults, adolescents, and couples who struggle with disorders such as bi-​polar depression, major depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, OCD, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Additionally I have helped many couples deal with domestic abuse, coping with the mental illness of a spouse or child, infidelity, sexual issues, and infertility.
