Meeting Susan is a gift and I'm so thankful. She has the natural ease of a therapist, friend, ally, and advocate all in one. There was not a single session I didn't learn something valuable from her. I highly recommend working with her as she will meet you where you're at in your life and provide the safe space you're looking for.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is such a great therapist! I highly recommend her.
Susan is an amazing person who listens to my rambling and helps me sort my thoughts and emotions. She makes me feel heard and educates me on terms I may not have known or have been using incorrectly. Each session I have haves me going to bed in peace.
Susan is wonderful and very experienced. I enjoy chatting with her and she is the first person to understand what I am going through. It's nice to talk to someone that gets it.
She is attentive and actually listens to you. She doesn’t try to tell you what you want to hear. She will be up-front but compassionate. I really enjoy her and trust in her!
She is by far one of the best therapists I've ever had. She's very responsive and was able to identify my struggles and offer helpful solutions and advice after just one session. I HIGHLY recommend Susan!
Susan gets to the heart of things at a reasonable pace, and is fantastic at hearing. She is able to provide valuable feedback and insights, making her a trusted and respected voice in both personal and professional settings. Susan's contributions to our sessions have gone far beyond just the topics at hand. She has offered valuable perspectives and advice on regular daily life issues, such as relationships, work, and self-care. She is also equally comfortable discussing deeply personal matters, and is willing to be vulnerable and open in exploring her own feelings and experiences.
