Ms. Susan Tarshis

I see individuals who are suffering a variety of problems in living. These include depression, sadness and trouble in relationships that can be caused by historical trauma or current crisis. People often relate to others in the same way they have in the past, even though it may not be the best way for the present. Understanding these patterns can lead to breaking out of those that are no longer helpful. We will explore new ways of being together with others, ways that are good for you and the unique person you are and strive to be.

My approach is Relational, which means I focus primarily on how your relationships, both past and present, childhood and adult, function. In hearing your story, we look for patterns together. Identifying the paterns is the first step in changing them. Change happens in the supportive environment of the therapy room.

I have experience and training that covers many areas of human interaction. I am comfortable with clients from various communities including LGBTQ and other forms of alternative sexualities or relationship structures. You can feel confident that your choices will be respected and celebrated when you work with me.
