Getting to know Susan Njuguna
Hello,
Welcome to my platform!
My name is Susan Njuguna. I hold a Master's in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Walden University and a Bachelor's degree from Salem State University. My objective is to help you identify yourself and clarify your life goals. I provide behavioral health psychotherapy, focusing on various modalities to help you develop a pathway toward understanding who you are. My approach centers on cognitive restructuring and reasoning while utilizing a holistic method to build emotional resilience and foster mental growth.
If you're struggling with career development and stress management, my coaching services can help you regain momentum in your career and achieve the success you desire. The goal is for you to identify yourself, your needs, and what you want in life.
Medication management is also an option, but it is my last resort. My aim is to provide you with all the tools and options available to improve your mental health.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My main goal is to coach you or give you tools guide you in attain your full potential success in life. I use multiple therapy approach with focus on unconditional positive self-regard by Carl Rogers.
The goal of my treatment approach is for you to identify self and guide you using eclectic therapeutic approach.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My sessions begin with initial assessment by gathering some of your history and relevant medical history to develop a plan. I use wholistic approach to evaluate my clients and will invites you to discuss a treatment plan that has measurable goals. You get to choose your problem list to discuss during the sessions.
As - William Shakespeare said, "We know what we are but know not what we may be."
My sessions are more geared towards self-discovery and understanding self-purpose. "Reevaluation of you as a person and your relationship with yourself relative to how you perceive the world is an important subject in developing your sense of self" - Susan Njuguna.
The journey of self-developments takes time and effort. Inputting time and thoughts in your mental exercises assigned to you will help you build resilience and control of self.
The first session might take 45 minutes to 60 minutes for Psychotherapy visit and 30 minutes to 45 minutes for a coaching session.
Every session's focus is to build on your emotional resilience and self-control. Every effort and commitment you make towards your goal counts. Output always equals input. — James Van Fleet
Hoping to see you soon!
-Susan

Susan is absolutely fabulous and has helped me in so many ways. I started seeing her a year ago where I personally felt as if I was boarder line drowning in existing and new emotions. She has helped me navigate so much where I feel in control of myself again and can navigate my emotions with confidence. She is so helpful and really listens to what you say and how you say it. She always knows how to help me I am blessed to have been referred to her.

Susan is amazing, personable and professional- my son has a few diagnosis’s and it has been quite a roller coaster ride while trying to find the correct medication/combo for him. Susan actually cares about her patients and she is highly skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to medication/ side effects etc. Thank you Susan :)

Susan is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Wish i had met 10 years ago, my life would have been better sooner. She is open minded, intuitive, non judgemental, caring & understanding. She knows how and when to "gently give me a push". I would highly recommed Susan to anyone. Its been a much better year having her to talk with.
