Getting to know Susan Kraus

Recognizing the need to share your vulnerability can be difficult and overwhelming, not knowing how to move forward leaves us stuck and unable to creatively think of solutions. I assist clients in building solutions to cope, prosper, and enjoy what is present. Using a compassionate heart, empathetic logic, and solution-focused approach to life's obstacles. My approach Using a collaborative approach to help recognize personal preferences, I utilize DBT, CBT, Mindfulness-based CBT, personality development, and IFS with a Trauma focus. One therapeutic approach does not fit all people, so based on your development and comfort, a variety of modalities may be used. Most important, is the client's comfort with my approach and motivation to seek improvement. My focus I work as a consultant to the client, looking a behaviors and skills that have been attempted in the past, developing self-awareness regarding responses, psycho-education on life processes and transitions. I want the client to gain the ability to generate their own ideas for interventions based on their current conditions. My communication style Assertive and compassionate are the types of communication utilized. I want to model behavior that will assist the client in being direct in expressing needs, assertive in expectations of honesty and openness, and accepting different opinions without dismissing them. Basically, I want to maintain clear and fair boundaries of mutual respect, allowing the client to find comfort in expressing themselves. My journey to mental healthcare I pursued a Social Work career very early in life, as I have always been fascinated by the human story. We all carry so many resources, but often pain and opinion get in the way. I want to help all of us realize the beauty and compassion that we all carry.
