Susan Horvat, LPCC

Hi there and welcome! Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you've engaged in therapy for years, I look forward to getting to know you and working together to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.

I specialize and am passionate about working with adults experiencing symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and/or complex trauma (as well as associated conditions - e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD, DID). To do this work effectively, I rely on years of experience, extensive training, weekly professional consultation, and a combination of evidence-based treatments including DBT, ACT, IFS and EMDR. My therapeutic approach is warm, strengths-based, collaborative and steadfast.

Over the past 12 years, I've had the opportunity to work with many individuals who are creative, brilliant, sensitive, and neurodiverse. Most have struggled with some combination of the following: intense, overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, irritability, impulsivity, substance abuse, disordered eating, unstable relationships, fears of abandonment, shame, self-hatred, feeling misunderstood, identity disturbance, dissociation, self-harm, and/or suicidality.

It's truly an honor to walk alongside someone as they navigate their journey. My ultimate goal is to empower you. I want you to feel confident in your ability to handle whatever arises and to embrace life in a way that's meaningful to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a complimentary phone consult. I will keep an ear out for you.
