Hi, I’m Suzanne. I approach this work with intention and respect. When you sit across from me—even virtually—you have my full attention. My style is direct, honest, and grounded. I won’t overreact, and I won’t minimize your experience. I believe in your capacity to grow, and at times I will challenge you—with care and purpose—to help you move forward.
You can expect steadiness, discretion, and a focus on meaningful change, not just endless processing. Therapy is an investment of your time, energy, and trust, and I take that seriously. My goal is to support you in making real, lasting progress with clarity and confidence.
I have over 3 decades of experience working in the fields of mental health and social work. I work with youth, adults, and couples who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, relationship issues, and school refusal.
I have spent my career learning and translating theories into practice with individuals, families, couples, and groups. For the last few years, I've gained deeper knowledge working with trauma, anxiety, couples, and the LGBTQIA+ population.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Arlington Heights, IL
Searching for therapists in Arlington Heights starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience before booking. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods, so their profile can help you understand how they work and whether their background fits your needs.
Arlington Heights has local therapy options, though availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can also expand your choices across Illinois, especially if you need evening appointments or prefer care from home. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Arlington Heights can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
