Susan Potts Kimberly, an experienced Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, understands that everyone encounters challenging moments in life. Clients may find themselves grappling with family or personal relationship issues, health concerns for themselves or loved ones, workplace or academic stress, or past traumas that they've carried for too long. Susan believes that even in the face of life's difficulties, individuals possess inherent strengths that can be harnessed. She creates an ‘open space’ where clients can share their unique stories without judgment, identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and set achievable goals toward a more fulfilling life. Susan supports adults navigating a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, life transitions, and complex trauma. She is particularly attuned to the challenges of caring for loved ones with health issues, including dementia and end-of-life matters. Her approach centers around fostering a positive therapeutic relationship, making clients feel safe and empowered to explore their potential for personal development. With a relaxed and informal style grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she enriches sessions with relatable examples, metaphors, and a touch of humor, ensuring that the therapeutic journey is both personalized and effective.
