Susan Ruma

I've built my career around sitting with people through some of life's hardest moments — it's work I still find deeply meaningful. I'm Susan, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with an MSW from the University of Michigan, offering telehealth therapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Michigan. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, and more — bringing a strengths-based lens to every session.

Each person who sees me will feel they're in a fully affirming, judgment-free space, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and those navigating gender identity or transition. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, person centered therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT — practical, evidence-based tools tailored to what works best for you.

My years of practice have taught me that people are more resilient than they realize. Warm but direct, honest but compassionate — I'll meet you exactly where you are. Reach out when you're ready.
