Life is not always easy.

Everyone goes through difficult times and during these moments it can be especially helpful to have someone by your side that understands and cares. My goal is to establish a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where we can creatively work through the issues you are dealing with. Therapy is a powerful way to learn about yourself and develop skills for enhancing your life. Devoting attention to your personal growth can help you deal with the challenges you are facing now and in the future.  So whether you are dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, a major change in your life, depression, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you have a partner in this journey.

Hello, I’m Susan.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and mindfulness meditation educator, I specialize in helping adolescents and adults of all ages find healing and transformation. With over 20 years of experience, I am licensed in both New York and Florida and offer in-person sessions in Roslyn and New York City offices. As a member of PsyPact, I also provide telehealth in ~39 states around the US.

My focus is on helping individuals dealing with issues such as aging, anxiety, career uncertainty, depression, grief and loss, parenting, relationship difficulties, stress management, transitions, and trauma.  Our work together will begin after an in-depth conversation that identifies the issues you want to work on and any important background information you want to share.  Once I understand the challenges you are dealing with, we will work together to help you establish and reach your goals. I firmly believe that everyone is capable of personal growth and healing and I strive to create a safe environment where meaningful connection and lasting change can happen.

Approach

In my practice, I strive to take a warm, nonjudgemental, and collaborative approach, working closely with my clients to address their unique concerns and develop an individualized plan that meets their needs.

I am integrative in my manner of working, drawing upon numerous evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), and other mindfulness-based, trauma-informed therapy models.
