Getting to know Susan Futeral

Hello, my name is Dr. Sue Futeral, and everyone calls me Dr. Sue. I am an LCSW-C, C-EAT, with 30+ years of experience supporting wellness and growth with kids, teens, and adults. In therapy, we set goals to help individuals overcome past traumatic experiences and process the stressors of everyday life. It is my passion to help people be their "best possible selves!" My approach My therapeutic approach is to have my clients set the pace and goals, using specific tools to access wellness, happiness, and better communication with others while exploring yourself and your relationships. My approach to therapy often involves CBT, mindfulness, and expressive arts therapies, such as art therapy and music therapy. My focus My client focus is on the mind-body-spirit connection, examining emotions and coping skills. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families to explore development, trauma history, addictions, eating, sleeping, or sexual concerns, in both the straight and LGBTQI+ communities. My focus is always a commitment to my clients to help them feel better. My communication style My sessions are through telehealth, so although we are not face-to-face in person, we can see each other and discuss whatever concerns you bring to the session. I think sometimes my clients may feel like they are taking a psychology class, as I do like to explain things briefly but thoroughly, with the goal of clear and specific communication. My journey to mental healthcare I often tell people that I have been doing this work since I was about ten years old, but I did not have a license then! So I have been driven to this work for many years, but my roots as a helping professional started very early on. The short version is, my mom got sick, was diagnosed with cancer, and died when I was a kid. My dad became more religious, consulting with our family Rabbi.
