My approach to therapy

Susanna utilizes a range of therapeutic modalities to meet the diverse needs of her clients. Her Person-Centered Therapy approach creates a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner experiences. With Trauma-Informed Care, Susanna ensures a safe and supportive space for clients to process and heal from past traumas. She also employs Family Systems Therapy to address relational dynamics and strengthen family bonds.
