Susan E BartakClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I work with teens and adults who appear to have it all together on the outside- but inside, they are exhausted, anxious or unsure of themselves. My approach builds on your strengths and provides insights you can apply to daily life. I utilize a variety of successful research- based therapies, to include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to alleviate symptoms of PTSD and anxiety. My specialities include addressing complex trauma, managing life with ADHD and processing grief related to loss of loved ones, or a verison of a life you had hoped for. We can work together to identify and change negative thought and behavioral patterns, navigate difficult relationship dynamics-whether with partners, family or colleagues, or explore the origins of protective patterns you are hoping to heal from. Our time together can reinforce you don't need to be mentally ill to need to be more mentally healthy.
