    Susan has been an absolutely positive impact in my life. She is genuine, understanding and a joy to speak with. She listens and you know you are being heard. Our sessions have brought on so much positive change and reflection.
    Susan is very personable and is easily relatable. She works around my schedule and I have no problems rescheduling appointments. She has gotten me through many issues. I recommend her.
    I have been seeing Susan for sometime now. She is very personable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her as a counselor to anyone that needs someone to speak with.
    I went in seeing Susan as my first ever therapist, and as someone who's always sort of dreaded that experience she sure as heck made it a comfortable experience. I'm almost speechless at how great of a time I guess she's made therapy for me. Bonus points, she's a great conversationalist too, if that helps you ease into the process!
    Working with Susan has been a great experience. She is always very responsive to my concerns and has a wonderful way of making me feel heard. She’s easy to talk to and takes great interest in working with me to resolve my issues. I’ve found her to be kind, compassionate, and empathic and recommend her highly.
