Susan R. Pickering

Finding a therapist for you or your family’s needs is a daunting task. For over 26 years, I have worked in public, private, and educational settings to gain a broad understanding of the needs of people. The combination of evidence based therapies and a strong therapeutic relationship can lead to changes allowing greater purpose and joy. I emphasize empathy, the ability to put one’s self in the shoes of another. Reminding ourselves that small steps lead to big changes, insights can be gained and goals can be met. Especially when we harness the practice of mindfulness by focusing our awareness on the present moment. I work with a broad range of presenting issues. Currently, I am working with adults, adolescents and couples. I have particular training in trauma, MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Psychodynamic therapy. It is my belief and experience that the deepest and most lasting change we experience is at the level of our bodies. With diligence and determination, we can work together to unlock ineffective belief systems and uncover your individual gifts. We all have the ability to contribute to our homes and communities in meaningful ways. As we create greater purpose, our true potential shines through. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you in your future.
