Hi! My name is Susan Wise, PhD and I am a licensed psychotherapist. I am here to assist you in making the changes in your life that you have always wanted to make but have been afraid to do so. Change can be accomplished by building a therapeutic environment that focuses on empathy, acceptance, and mutual respect and trust.
My approach
My approach to therapy uses a wide range of therapeutic modalities, and they include CBT, Art Therapy, Problem Solving, Coping strategies, communication skills, and more.
My focus
I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are motivated to move forward.
My communication style
My communication style is forward and promotes positive changes that need to take place in a comfortable, safe place with an experienced therapist who can remain "neutral", supportive, and respectful.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always loved a good challenge. Working with people and helping them change in a positive, forward manner has always been one of the biggest and most rewarding challenges of my life.
My goals for you
Goal setting is important in change. It requires lots of "baby steps" that are set on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. A mutually agreed upon step is set and discussed and hopefully accomplished by the following session.
My first session with you
The first question is: "What brought you to therapy, What do you want to accomplish and what behaviors and thoughts do you want to change? Are you ready to meet the challenges?"
