Suzanne listens and supports me with ideas and kindness. I respect her as a professional because she doesn't talk down to me, or simply nod, and say one word acknowledgments. My depression and self-esteem have improved!

Talking to Suzanne is like talking to my best friend. She really understands what's important to me. Her advice is straight forward and practical. She doesn't judge. She helps me make sense of what's going on in my head. My two previous attempts at therapy were horrible. I'm glad I gave therapy another try and got Suzanne as my therapist. I've even recommended her to one of my closest friends.
