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.
Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Having difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help empower you to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, become the best version of yourself, and reclaim your life.
Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, reach out and give me a call at 423-342-6422. Now seeing clients in Connecticut, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas.
I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in helping adults through a wide variety of emotional, physical, and life changes. I specialize in treatment for individuals with epilepsy and other chronic conditions. I also work with adults with anxiety, depression, general stress management, domestic violence, and women's issues.
I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.
My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.
I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.
Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what works best for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bridgeport
Searching for therapists in Bridgeport starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may note experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, or trauma-informed care in their profile.
Bridgeport has a local therapist community, but in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Looking beyond nearby offices in areas like Black Rock, Downtown, and the East End can give you more options, and virtual appointments can expand access to licensed therapists across Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Bridgeport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. You can browse therapists, review bios, 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.
