Susan Klemmer, LMHC, NCC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida (Resident in Counseling in VA), and a Nationally Certified Counselor specializing in helping adolescents and adults in FL and VA experiencing LGBTQIA+ issues, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues/addiction concerns.

Currently accepting in-person appointments in my Sanibel, FL office (located in Island Shops Center); currently, I can only offer Florida clients a self-pay option, but am working to accept insurance soon. If you are located in VA, I am still a Resident in Counseling, and able to accept most commercial insurances including Medicaid through my alignment with Hope Inspired Therapy. If you prefer self-pay and are located in VA, that is also an option.

Working in private practice gives me the opportunity to help clients with varying needs commit to living their lives authentically. My aim is to walk with you through your pain, and then help you find the path to living the life you desire. Whether you are struggling with issues related to relationships, substance use/addiction, your gender identity, depression, grief, anxiety or something else, I will hold space for you in a judgment free zone, and help you heal. You will always find a safe space with me, whether we meet in person or via telehealth. I am also known for using curse words and encouraging laughter or tears - authentic emotion - during sessions.

Lets work together to help you find a better way to live authentically. I'm here when you're ready.
