Getting to know Suzanne Cheatham

Hi there, I'm Suzanne! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and over 15 years of experience. My client-centered therapeutic approach is rooted in a strength-based perspective, where building an authentic connection with you is key and central to my counseling style. I believe in empowering you by focusing on your inherent resilience and capabilities. I have seen the impact that one session can have, so don't be scared?I got you. My approach As a therapist, I take a compassionate, humanistic approach that honors your unique journey and strengths. I use an assortment of approaches and tools to individualize a plan that supports your goals so you can live your best, most authentic life. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT to help you embrace your thoughts and feelings, guiding you toward living a life aligned with your values. Our work together will also incorporate mindfulness practices, and I?ll draw on spiritual and cultural wisdom that resonates with you, fostering a holistic healing process that respects all aspects of your identity. My focus I am currently working with ages 14 and up. Together we can address and explore relationship issues, toxic stress, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem building, sexual identity, anxiety, work issues, family issues, anger, addiction, personal growth, and life transitions. Life is too short?it?s time! My communication style In our sessions, I bring a real and authentic vibe. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation, so we?ll keep it informal, honest, and down-to-earth. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and understood while we work together to navigate whatever challenges you?re facing. Real talk, real connections, and real growth. Let?s laugh, cry, and thrive. I am all about creating a safe and non-judgmental space full of gratitude, where I learn through you and grow with you.
