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.
My belief is that if we stay in the moment, work on ourselves, and stay positive anything is possible.
I have always believed that asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do, especially regarding their mental health.
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.
We all face situations that leave us in need of extra support. I know first-hand how valuable therapy can be while we are going through difficult experiences.
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.
Brené Brown said “We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” Life can get messy and hard and too often we believe that we must figure it out on our own or have all the answers. It is my belief that we do have the answers inside of us but sometimes we need guidance to find them.
There is power in making the unconscious mind conscious, understanding WHY we do what we do, and finding our own inner voice.
I enjoy working with both children and adults, who are experiencing a lot of different challenges, situations, and mental health issues.
I believe everyone deserves someone who will listen to and validate their lived experiences, no matter how painful or joyous.
As a medication prescriber I want to make sure that you have been educated about the various treatment options. These options often include non-medication treatment, nutritional supplements, and prescription medications.
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.
