Susan Singer
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have been practicing for 11 years as a therapist with extensive previous experience as a social worker. I recognize that acknowledging the need for help is sometimes difficult. At times it may seem hopeless or useless to try to change. Very often negative self-talk and an invalidating environment gets in the way. I am here to walk with you on your journey toward living your best life. I use an integrative approach, drawing from different evidenced based models & tailor therapy to meet your needs. I have been trained in DBT (dialectic behavior therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) and am certified in grief counseling. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, working with individuals who are LGBTQIA+ and their families. I am compassionate and nonjudgmental, recognizing that everyone is doing the best that they can. My clients are grateful for my positive and calming approach. I enjoy developing individuals' skills to help them cope with life's challenges. Goals are established at the beginning of therapy and adjusted to meet the clients' changing needs. Focus is often on increasing the client's coping skills while exploring needs...peeling an onion involves a lot of tears until we get to the sweetest part, the core. I look forward to meeting you and building your life worth living.
