Susan Botts

Susan’s approach to therapy is genuine and compassionate, person-centered, strengths-based, and promotes personal curiosity. She works to help people discover their underlying needs and emotions, and come up with positive, new steps to experience themselves and their relationships differently. Having worked in private practice as well as in-home intensive family therapy, living overseas, experiencing loss, and being a parent, Susan brings both professional and personal experience into the room. By considering what holds us in our patterns and having a safe space to begin healing from past injuries, we can begin to reshape our internal experience and our connection to others. Couples, families, and individual adults and teens all may find Susan to be a good fit for them. She is down-to-earth, caring, and can be playful, while at the same time appropriately challenging. Finding the right therapist is important. Susan welcomes talking about this. We can figure out in the therapy room what is working and what isn’t. We can practice advocating for ourselves and trusting one another. Therapy can be a safe place to engage in a new way, like practicing a dance before going out into the real world.
