Getting to know Susan Schanen

Hi there, I'm Susan! Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on beginning your journey, and I’m here to make sure it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This hands-on approach gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may adapt my approach to include mindfulness and medication. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? I work with young adults and adults managing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, I’ll help create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training at California State University, Sacramento, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work, I worked with survivors of trauma, both adults and young adults.
