Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Newark, DE

I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.

My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.

I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and hope to create a space where our most authentic selves feel seen, heard, and thrive. I bring warmth, understanding, and occasional humor to sessions. With years of experience working with folks navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I meet each person where they are in their journey.

Susan White specializes in individual therapy and has 10+ years of experience. Her areas of expertise are trauma, parenting, multicultural concerns, PTSD, LGBTQ challenges, and adjustment.

Hi there! If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged by unmet goals, or simply ready to better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity, therapy can be a space to reflect, reconnect, and grow.

I believe meaningful change often begins with feeling genuinely heard, supported, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and practical guidance, with the goal of helping you build insight, develop new perspectives, and strengthen the tools you already possess.

I bring nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health and personal development field, with experience across outpatient therapy, university counseling, community mental health, integrated care, and other supportive clinical settings. These experiences have shaped my ability to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating life transitions, stress, personal growth, relationship concerns, and other emotional challenges.

My practice is best suited for adults seeking routine outpatient psychotherapy who are able to safely engage in telehealth care. If you are currently experiencing an acute mental health crisis or require a higher level of care, I may recommend more intensive or specialized services to ensure you receive the level of support you need.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating a difficult season of life, you don't have to do it alone. As a fully bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I provide a warm, culturally fluent space where you can show up as your authentic self and express your story effortlessly.

My own journey began in the Dominican Republic and grew up in the Bronx, NY. Navigating two distinct worlds shaped my deep appreciation for culture, identity, and personal history. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping adults and young adults, especially those from multicultural backgrounds, navigate life transitions, stress, emotional overwhelm, and trauma.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. Together, we will work as a team to help you heal from the past, step into your strength, and build a balanced life that feels truly good to live.

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Delaware and Iowa. I earned my doctorate (Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology) from the Fuller School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with diverse populations in the East Coast, Midwest, and Los Angeles area in a variety of settings, such as outpatient behavioral agencies, a psychiatric hospital focusing on chemical dependency, a university counseling center, and a school district. I also received a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Hong Kong.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide variety of concerns. My clinical interests include anxiety and mood disorders, trauma recovery, grief and loss, family of origin issues, ADHD, relational distress, perfectionism, cross-cultural adjustments, and spirituality. I was trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 2021 and my specialty area is to help individuals with complex childhood traumas and PTSD using attachment-informed EMDR interventions.

I help clients enhance their quality of life by using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

There's a particular exhaustion that comes from being strong for everyone — from carrying your history in your body, from holding complexity in a world that keeps asking you to pick one lane. Whether you're sorting through old trauma, navigating mood swings that feel out of your control, or sitting with the weight of relationships that have hurt you, you don't need to figure it out by yourself. Many of my clients are high-functioning people who've been told they're fine — and they're tired of pretending that's the whole story.
