Hi, I’m Susan Quillman (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In my free time, I like to spend time being active outdoors, baking, or spending time with my dog. I love working with... adults of all ages who want to learn about themself, and make impactful changes in their lives, find healing and experience a meaningful life.? Some of my favorite approaches include... In my therapy sessions, I primarily use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), however I also use other evidence-based techniques including Positive Psychology, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Compassion Focused Therapy. How I help... My approach is a collaborative process with you, that begins by developing a trusting and supportive relationship. ?I believe... Everyone has the ability to overcome the difficulties and challenges that life can present. I understand that change does not always come easily. It takes courage to be willing to step in to therapy and start on the path to health and wellness. You are the expert of yourself, and are the one who determines what you want for your life. What it's like in session with me My perspective is that there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy, so sessions will vary based on the individual needs of the client on any given day. What is consistent in my sessions is that I will treat you with warmth, compassion, and respect. Sometimes I may be quiet and other times I will be more directive. I bring curiosity into session, and may ask a lot of questions to help you self reflect. I like to talk about current brain science, because it informs us about ourselves and our reactions. I also talk a lot about values, because that is where we find life direction and meaning. I use mindfulness, imagery, and breathing exercises to help you learn and practice some helpful tools. I welcome feedback on each session, and encourage reflection on each session.
