Susan is an active member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), the Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work (PSCSW), Greater Philadelphia IFS Community, Specialists of Schools and her local chapter of General Federation of Women’s Clubs.
Susan uses a Person-Centered framework with therapeutic techniques from Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Care, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Cognitive Problem Solving, Somatic Experiencing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to enhance the individual or group's experience and provide effective feedback necessary to make positive changes.
Susan believes in providing an anti-oppressive, caring, safe environment in which clients can be vulnerable. She continues to do her own work towards cultural humility, uprooting her own conditioned biases, and ways to acknowledge and shift power and privilege towards systemic change. She is open to feedback in these areas, as that is what helps her grow as a human and all of us grow towards each other in compassion.
Susan’s therapy schedule is very limited, but she can be available for business consultation and clinical consultation.
