Suzanne continues to support me. She is always kind & respectful., although I realize she must have a huge amount of clients she serves, she always makes me feel as if I’m her only client at any given time. She has helped me to reframe thoughts and actions in a positive and challenging way. She is so knowledgeable and professional. I am very grateful for our relationship.

The previous therapists I had made me feel like they didn't listen to me and they made me feel like I was a burden almost. I really appreciate that Suzanne listens to me and goes through practices with me and makes me feel both seen and heard. She is more than exceptional therapist she is the BEST at what she does and I really appreciate her for the continuous work she does for me.

I’ve only had one session so far but it felt very real and authentic. I didn’t experience that overly professional/robotic interaction like I have with other therapists. I felt seen and heard and so far I’m really enjoying my experience!

Suzanne did such an amazing job at such an incredibly low point in my life. She helped me see things for what they were, and instead of just listening, she gave honest feedback which I always appreciated. Suzanne’s approach with professionalism, life experience, and her great sense of humor did a lot for me when it felt I didn't have much.

Suzanne is great, give her at least two-three sessions before making a judgement call. I received better and better help over time as she got to know me.

Great therapist. Listens well and truly hears you. Great at being supportive but also at hearing what you're not saying and pointing out areas that need work in a constructive way.

I’ve felt a nice balance in being able to tell my story and being guided to reflect.
Written on Aug 16, 2023 after therapy with Suzanne for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
I"ve only met with Suzanne twice, but because I have plenty of experience in therapy I feel I have a sense of how she is as a therapist--or at least how she is interpersonally.
I really really REALLY like that she is assertive enough to overcome my sometimes stream of consciousness communication (I think out loud and have a lot going on). At the same time she's a GREAT listener.
I really sense she's quite competent and experienced. I hope I can continue with her longer term
I think she's flexible as well. I like her eclectic-seeming approach. Finally, she's a really good communicator, She touches base with me briefly (not obtrusive at all, and I"m sure it'd be fine if I didn't reply) during the week a few days before. ANd priot to that, when we had some scheduling snafus that weren't on her but on BetterHelp, she was very proactive.
For me, that results in feeling "held" by a therapist as I am on my healing/personal growth journey. It's good to feel someone /a therapist along with you and it also feels caring.
I'm almost afraid to review her so positively (joking) because then she'll book up more! Truly a joke though

Suzanne, when I think of her, is consistent, honest, and guiding in the way she approaches the work. She has just the right level of experience to make her such an asset to anyone managing challenges in today's society. I give her the HIGHEST marks possible for her role as a therapist in my life.
