Suzanne McCurley As a licensed LPC therapist and certified EMDR therapist, I bring empathy and positivity to the relationship to make it a meaningful, transformative experience. I help clients to get beyond any hurts and negative emotions that may be getting in the way. I offer a safe, comfortable place to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship where you will feel heard, accepted, and understood.I help clients with low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and abuse issues that hinder them from creating happy, productive lives. Clients learn to undo the defenses keeping them from their feelings, freeing them to explore their inner selves and discover the root of their problems. I use a spiritual centered integrative approach, working from a psychodynamic perspective and utilizing evidence-based CBT and EMDR interventions that are informed with family systems, 01 — Roxborough House, 1997 existentialism, and the MBTI.
