Suzanne Berndt

Suzanne Berndt is a compassionate therapist who understands that humans are inherently social beings, yet many have lost connection with both themselves and their communities. She recognizes that this disconnection often stems from the modern world's frantic pace, which can lead to relational trauma, poor self-worth, health challenges, addiction, loss, and isolation. Through her work, Suzanne emphasizes the importance of feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, experiencing joy, and learning emotional regulation, tolerance, and resiliency as pathways to healing. She works with adults and couples, employing an integrative and holistic approach that explores the dynamic interplay between mind, body, and spirit. With her specialized training in Somatic Experiencing, Suzanne effectively addresses the disconnection that can accompany addiction and unresolved trauma. Her therapeutic space is one where clients feel safe, while she kindly challenges the dysfunctional behaviors and beliefs that hinder their growth. As a cancer survivor and a parent who has faced the tragedy of losing a child to suicide, Suzanne's personal experiences profoundly inform her work with those navigating trauma, loss, transition, and grief. It is her honor to walk alongside clients on their journey to discovering a true sense of self.
