Susanne Graham

Susanne has at least 20 years of clinical experience...

What that really means is: I've worn a lot of different hats.

I've managed so much loss and hurt and shame and guilt and relationships. I've carried hope and joy and kindness and glimmers. I'm also a mom and a daughter to aging parents; a partner and a sister; an aunt and a friend; a colleague and an ally....the list goes on and on. I've done research and collected stories. I see patterns and have learned to trust my instincts so I can help you with yours. I feel like I've lived a thousand different versions of therapist life in many, many different rooms.

I want to know your story. I want you to experience someone who is curious about you and can ask you the necessary questions. Or, we gravitate into it. It happens. I will push back and tell you hard things. I will honor your individuality and try to help you feel seen and heard and respected. You may break-up with me or run and hide, or float away and come back later. I'm here for it. Also, I really do:

...holds her Bachelor's degree in psychology and fine art from the University of Colorado, a Master's degree in social work (MSW) from the University of Michigan. She currently holds her clinical licensure (LCSW) in Colorado, Florida and Indiana.

I specialize in supporting individuals who might be navigating the challenges associated with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), including trauma, crisis, infertility, loss, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions experienced during pregnancy or up to a year after childbirth (advanced trained/certified). I also have reached a certified level of training and practice in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It's weird and magical and body-based. I am a clinical supervisor (Qualified Supervisor-FL), experienced in integrative healthcare, education, group facilitation; and provide consultation, coaching and program development.

Bring me your trials, tears and trauma. Bring me your messy, fractured or family drama. Bring me your dark; your chaos or kink. I-can-handle-it!

My approach to psychotherapy is from a strengths-based perspective, which means our focus begins with identifying and building upon your existing inner resources and resilience. You have them. Yes, I AM SURE.

I am also client-centered- I believe you are the expert of your own life. AND... Sometimes, we need a seasoned tourist who can bring a flashlight to the scary parts. Or light a candle. Or start a bonfire. Or laugh about it all with. Whatever path, this foundation will guide the direction of our therapy sessions.

I am exceptionally good at sitting with humans in their darkness and being able to provide a warm, validating, and empowering space. I am also direct. You are here for a reason- let's get to it!

Curiosity. I will ask a lot of questions about a lot of areas of your life. I want to know why you showed up and about your expectations. I want to know how I can help or if you don't even know where to begin. I want you to feel comfortable and answer questions you might have about me or this experience. And, most definitely, I would be honored to hear your story.
