Susan Buchalter

Coping with stress and anxiety can be challenging, but with support, you can manage almost any issue. I offer non-judgmental listening and skills to help you live a happier, calmer life. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Art Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with a touch of humor. With over 40 years of experience, I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist, ready to help you lead a more serene, meaningful life.

I studied in New York and interned for two years at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital. With over 40 years at Penn Medicine Princeton Behavioral Health, I have led therapy groups and worked individually with clients. My focus is on managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Using CBT, DBT, art therapy, and mindfulness, I tailor therapy to each person's needs and goals.

My goal is to create a comfortable therapy space where we work together as a team on your healing and happiness. I will help you become more self-aware, assertive, and self-compassionate. I believe in using humor and kindness in therapy. I will introduce skills to boost your self-esteem, life satisfaction, and motivation, making you stronger.
