Sometimes life invites us to pause. You might feel the weight of high expectations, catch yourself saying yes when you mean no, notice the restless hum of a mind that won’t settle, or keep moving so fast you never give yourself a moment to slow down. Maybe you notice old patterns such as people pleasing, putting work first, getting caught in draining relationships, using habits or substances to numb out, or wrestling with the restlessness of ADHD. You may even sense that something in your life is ready for a shift, even if you’re not yet sure what it will look like.

Before becoming a therapist I spent years in the fast-paced corporate world of New York City advertising. Stepping away from that hustle and into the work of healing continues to shape how I sit with others.

I am a LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, with five years in private practice and over a decade in the integrative wellness world. I'm also 200-hour yoga teacher certified and a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy facilitator in IRB approved clinical trials. Training in these areas, along with years of yoga and mindfulness practice, has deepened my understanding that mind, body, and spirit are not separate, but part of one whole.

I work with anxious, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults, and with people navigating complex trauma, relationship struggles, addiction, career changes, and other significant life transitions. Together we listen beneath the noise. We invite the body to speak, the mind to soften, and the heart and spirit to remember its belonging until what you discover is not something to chase, but the quiet presence of the Self you have always been.

Susan Goodwin is a highly qualified and experienced therapist holding licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). With a passion for helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges, Susan brings a wealth of expertise to her practice.

I believe that our mental and emotional state shapes how we experience and perceive life. Through my work with diverse populations, I have learned how important it is to prioritize mental health in order to create meaningful change and find fulfillment. Using my clinical experience, I now focus on working with adults who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

I believe in providing a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking growth, healing, and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build the tools and confidence to move forward.

I work with adults who are ready to engage deeply in their healing and personal evolution. Many of my clients have spent much of their lives in caregiving roles: parents, adult children caring for aging family members, partners, healthcare professionals, teachers, therapists, or those who naturally take on the role of “the strong one.” While meaningful, these roles can also lead to overwhelm, burnout, and a pattern of overfunctioning that leaves little room for your own needs.

You may have already experienced therapy and are now seeking something more integrative; an approach that moves beyond coping into clarity, embodiment, and empowerment. Often, my clients come in recognizing that they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, and are ready to explore the patterns, beliefs, and internal narratives that have shaped that way of being.

In our work together, you are met with compassion as we uncover these patterns and begin the process of reconnecting you with your own needs, values, and inner authority. This is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself.

I provide psychotherapy using a personalized, trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow work, ecotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, guided meditation, breathwork, reflective writing, and ritual-based practices.

This is a space where your growth, healing, and wholeness are honored...a journey of uncovery, discovery, and love.
