Karen Sussan
Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC
Are you searching for ways to improve your life, lead a more meaningful life, or become a better person?
People come to me for help because they might be stressed, anxious or depressed. I help them with problems with relationships, life transitions, grief, spiritual issues, and medical conditions, among other things.
There’s hope for you, too.
While your problems may be painful now, they can serve as catalysts for life improvement and enduring change. Out of duress, you can emerge empowered. You may tap into your greater potential and make positive changes. The basic tools needed for effective work in psychotherapy are an open mind, hard work, and a good client-psychotherapist fit. My psychotherapy approach is paired with a holistic outlook that affirms each human as unique and essential. I carry a strong belief that a solid client-psychotherapist relationship can ultimately lead to healing, growth and transformation.
I admire the courage and resolve it takes to pursue and apply psychotherapy for change. I respect people who walk through my door. I find it exciting when a client gains insight, discovers personal strength, or makes improvements based upon our work together. Client reports of feeling better or more whole are worth celebrating!
