I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.
Hi, I am Susan. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry, caring for adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I earned my BSN from Skidmore College, my MSN from Fairfield University, and I also completed training in Behavioral Sleep Medicine and adult sleep disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. Over the years, I have supported adults living with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD, and I have also worked closely with parents and caregivers of children and adult children with special needs.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.
Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Schenectady starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Schenectady-area providers include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they feel like a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in Schenectady or virtual visits from home, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's specialty aligns with your goals. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions and get a sense of their style before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Schenectady can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see estimated session costs before you book. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
