More about Susan
- 26 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Arizona, I bring over two decades of professional experience supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey, with specialized expertise in relationship dynamics, self-esteem development, and navigating significant life changes.
I focus on helping clients address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose exploration, workplace challenges, and personal growth. My therapeutic practice centers on empowering individuals to develop stronger self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful pathways forward.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide supportive guidance for diverse challenges such as midlife transitions, young adult issues, multicultural concerns, and personal healing from complex emotional experiences. My commitment is to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their strengths, work through obstacles, and cultivate genuine self-compassion.

About online counseling

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.

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.
