Suzanne Rothman, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with a variety of adult populations as well as specialized training in trauma and extensive experience engaging in therapy with survivors of domestic violence.

Therapy is a journey into oneself, a process of exploration and discovery leading to greater personal insight and fulfillment. My goal is to create a safe space in which you and I can engage in this challenging, enlightening process together. I have deep respect for those seeking therapy and see the willingness to seek help as a sign of strength. With empathy, compassion, humor, and a non-judgmental ear, I will accompany and help guide you through your unique journey.

I have experience working with a diverse range of adults, often in BIPOC and immigrant communities. Many of my clients have experienced trauma, anxiety/mood disorders, depression, PTSD, as well as relationship, parenting, life transition, and/or self esteem issues. I also have particular experience working with survivors of domestic violence.

My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic which is insight oriented and involves identifying patterns and effects of the past on the present. However, I am not a “one size fits all” therapist. I integrate various approaches depending on your needs including Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Attachment-based, and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy. I am always open to exploring approaches that may enrich our work together.

I strongly believe that the messages one receives throughout life shape our view of self and alter the lens through which we view our world. Exploring, processing, and revising these messages can lead to new perspectives of self and a healthier life narrative. As your therapist I will seek to help you examine those messages and perhaps go forward with those that more fully and authentically express who you are.
