Getting to know Susan Riley

Hi there, I'm Susan! Hello! I'm Susan Riley. I'm so excited you have decided to get some help to make the changes in your life to feel and function better. We will work together to help you reach your goals. I hope to make you comfortable whether this is your first time in therapy or you have done this for years. My approach My favorite type of therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It is highly researched and evidence based to prove it's effectiveness in many kinds of mental health issues. It basically helps you learn to challenge irrational thinking that contributes to anxiety, depression, anger, panic attacks and other problems. My focus I focus on adult clients of all ages. I also work with adolescents . I love to teach clients about mindfulness, boundaries , self-esteem, gratefulness, communication skills, conflict resolution, goal setting, life transitions and many other subjects. I use an eclectic approach and adjust to whatever your needs are in each session and situation. My communication style My communication style is easy going and we will proceed at your pace and in a way that feels comfortable for you. I am relaxed, empathetic, sometimes humorous. I will ask lots of questions or just let you talk or whatever feels best to you. My journey to mental healthcare After staying home for many years to raise my children, it was time for me to work on my career. I went back to grad school at age 49 to became a therapist. My journey to this decision was based on many life experiences and difficulty with my own mental health as well as that of several family members and friends. I was able to get help and I do not ever want anyone to suffer when there is help available. Because of this I am extremely passionate about telling clients how they can get better. I love what I do! My goals for you “I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships.
