I have been practicing for over 20 years. I emphasize honest appraisal and guided self-reflection a a means of confronting issues head on.. I have a general practice focusing on couples, families and blended families. i am a native New Yorker, we like solution oriented goals... I am direct and try to provide multiple alternatives to present thoughts. You may agree or disagree with some statements. It helps to assist with insights where changes are needed. Changes within oneself, changes the way they respond to a significant other, or a family member who lives with them. co-parenting in times of separation, focuses on how to leave the "old" relationship behind when focusing on supporting the child(ren).
I am cisd/trauma trained and have had many eye opening experiences. I worked at the hospital in Landstahl Germany with soldiers who were injured and their families , in addition I had the privilege of working at ground zero with the employees of a financial company on the year of the anniversary of 911. I am a native New Yorker , focusing on goal oriented solution focused cognitive behavioral therapy (I am a diplomat in CBT) I am presently working with many frontline workers who have been affected by the pandemic, and more recently those effected by the war in Israel.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Susan Charney has not given up on me.
Very professional and understands your concerns to help with what your going through.
She’s always speaks her bias and has an amazing outlook
I know I can write Susan when I need to vent and without judgment she responds honestly to me. I really appreciate that . I am seeking guidance so I want input . I feel so much more calm since I have been talking with her. Life is the same, but I am handling it better.
