Getting to know Susan Shafran
I believe that fast-acting trauma-focused psychotherapy does not need to come at the expense of spiritually driven healing. As a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience and a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University, I strive to provide my patients with an integrated approach that delivers both rapid emotional healing and a path to harnessing their faith in their healing process. My work offers clients a pathway to profound mental clarity, healing, and self-optimization.
In trauma-focused therapy, I utilize Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), a transformative approach designed to identify and clear unconscious conflicts that contribute to emotional suffering. RRT operates at the level of the subconscious mind, swiftly dissolving outdated patterns, emotional confusion, and stored trauma-without re-traumatization. I integrate RRT with spiritually informed therapy, emphasizing a deeper understanding of purpose and connection to a higher power. This holistic approach helps clients release fear, guilt, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve them. Drawing from Kabbalistic practices, such as meditation, intention setting, and spiritual alignment, this therapeutic fusion facilitates profound healing. By clearing emotional blockages and restoring inner harmony, clients experience a complete mental and spiritual renewal, allowing them to step into their highest potential. The result is a holistic healing process where psychological and spiritual work converges, allowing clients to experience not only symptom relief but deep inner peace, clarity of purpose, and an empowered, integrated sense of self.

My visit with Susan was precious, as it always is.
In our time together, we dove into places within me that had long kept me feeling stagnant. After just three sessions of Rapid Resolution Therapy, I felt a profound shift—lighter, freer, and finally unburdened by the stuckness I'd carried for years. Her guidance helped me clear patterns I thought I’d never escape. I’m deeply grateful.
