Getting to know Susan Anewalt
I offer a warm, relaxed, and supportive space where you can explore the parts of your life that feel overwhelming. Together, we'll embark on a journey to help you gain insights and develop the strategies and skills you need to cope with these challenges from a place of empowerment.
Life can be difficult when feeling down, worried, or struggling with relationships while keeping up with work and family. Sometimes, it can feel like the struggle will never end. I encourage you to reach out, and together, we can find solutions to help you overcome obstacles and approach life with a healthier, more empowered mindset.
Empowerment is at the heart of my work. I believe in helping each person reclaim their personal power so they can face challenges with greater confidence and self-love. I aim to collaborate with each client to create an individual treatment plan, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and a person-centered approach. For those interested in adding a spiritual component to therapy, I have experience helping individuals build a unique relationship with their higher power and explore their spirituality.
I have experience providing counseling in multiple settings, including residential, outpatient, and private practice. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Governors State University and a Bachelor of Science in psychology and criminology from Indiana State University. I am also a certified drug and alcohol counselor.
In addition to providing therapy, I collaborate closely with fellow Relief providers and can refer to adjunctive treatment options, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), the FDA-approved psychedelic SPRAVATO®, IV ketamine, and psychiatric medication management.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first appointment will involve a review of personal history, including family dynamics, childhood experiences, relationships, and any significant life events as well as explore the reasons you sought services and the specific symptoms and challenges you are facing. Recommendations for care will be provided and together you’ll begin to develop a plan to achieve your goals and achieve symptom relief.
Prior to your appointment, please complete and submit the intake form sent upon booking, or complete our digital intake form linked here. If this paperwork is not completed prior to your appointment, please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete the required paperwork in-office.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Relief Mental Health is an outpatient provider of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO® and IV Ketamine), psychiatric medication management, and talk therapy for the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health diagnoses. While our expertise is broad, there are certain mental health conditions and diagnoses that fall outside our scope of practice. Your initial appointment will be considered an intake appointment and will not guarantee a continued patient-provider relationship.

More information on payments and coverage
If we do not receive your insurance information at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, we will collect a $100.00 deposit at the time of service and verify benefits after your appointment has taken place. This deposit will be applied towards any out-of-pocket costs for services, including copays, coinsurances, deductibles, or the full cash rate if we are out-of-network or unable to verify your insurance benefits. Once benefits are verified, any outstanding balance will be charged to the credit card on file and any overpayment can be refunded or applied to future visits. Our providers’ profiles list which insurances they accept, but patients are still encouraged to contact their insurance company for specific coverage details. Most of our providers are in-network with a variety of commercial PPO policies and Medicare, but are out-of-network with commercial HMO policies, Medicaid and other government-funded health insurance providers.
