About Our Clinic
From time to time life throws us a curveball that we need help hitting. Many people don’t like to admit they may need help, guidance, or just someone to talk to who is removed from the situation. Life also has a way of bringing on challenges both mental and physical that we are not quite sure how to cope with.
There is no shame in seeking guidance through life’s challenges. The only shame should be in not seeking help when one needs it. I am a very firm believer that every single person at least once in their life needs to seek some kind of therapy, counseling, guidance, or whatever you may wish to call it.
We would love to be entrusted with helping you work through any difficulties you may be facing. It’s understood that we live in a small community where a lot of people know each other. Your confidentiality will always be taken very seriously and respected as the number one priority.
Meet Our Therapists
I am a very firm believer that every single person, at least once in their life, needs to seek some kind of counseling. I would love to be the one you come see to help you get through or adapt to life’s curveballs.
When my family went through a hard time growing up, we sought out a therapist. I saw first-hand how valuable it was to have an outsider’s perspective to help learn new strategies of coping. We all have experiences that leave us needing extra help to get through.
I learned that I love helping others and wanted to do something that contributed to others’ lives in some form.
I believe that everyone already has the power to change within them. Therefore, my philosophy in therapy is to combine your expertise on your life with my clinical knowledge and skills to empower you to meet your goals.
I have always believed that asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do, especially regarding their mental health.
I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for my clients. I value kindness and empathy, and am committed to helping individuals break down barriers and build confidence. I am passionate about working with children and teens, and providing the best care possible.
As a therapist, I commit to non-judgmentally accepting you for where you are at and providing resources and support to help you facilitate changes in your life that you yearn for.
One of my favorite quotes is that of Carl Jung who said, “I am not what happened to me – I am what I choose to become.” It is my sincere hope and intention to explore and empower you on your journey toward a better you – emotionally, spiritually and physically – and provide you the space together to do so.
My favorite thing about butterflies is that they remind me of the possibility of change. Change is part of our human existence, and we usually move in one of two directions: either away from pain or towards joy. When we are in a more painful or stuck place in our lives, therapy can help us untangle things so we can create joy.
In the face of difficulties, pain, changes, struggles, and mental health issues, it is my firm belief that all of us need to be heard, first and foremost.
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the potential to advocate for themselves and find the resources they need to thrive. I am committed to helping my clients discover and develop tools that will benefit them inside and outside of therapy.
It has been such a joy to get to work with all the amazing therapists here. I have seen first-hand all the benefits, fulfillment, and healing that our clients receive from visiting our office.
My name is Susan Schaffer. I am a credential and billing specialist at Sunrise Mental Health Services.
