Susan is super sweet and understanding. She listens and uses life experience to relate to you. She uses methods to help you feel better that may actually work, past therapy experiences haven't worked for me

I think Susan is a very strong, caring, positive, passionate, polite, intelligent, and informative person who knows what she is calling about. She is very open and honest with what she wants you to know and also is very supportive and encouraging to what you have to say as well. She gives you alot of tools and worksheets that she thinks will help you out in the long run with the issue you are dealing with and she doesn't want you to feel discouraged or upset that you let her down because you don't and she always told me that she is there to help me and please ask if you have any questions or issues with the worksheets. I like that she is very sympathetic and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!!

Susan has been great! She has given me amazing skills to help in my everyday life and also helps me to see things in a different perspective and face things I was otherwise avoiding. I have only just begun my therapy journey but I am hopeful with her I will get to a better place in my life.
