About Susan

I am a clinically trained and experienced psychotherapist with years of experience providing psychotherapy and sex addiction therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both New York State and Florida, as well as a certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor providing services.

I provide individual and couples therapy as well as group psychotherapy for people who have a sexual/cybersex addiction, and drug and/or alcohol addiction.

In addition, I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) credentialed through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals . The CSAT is a clinical certification facilitated by Dr. Carnes and CSAT associates. Dr Carnes is the internationally known and respected sex addiction therapist, researcher and author of Out Of The Shadows, the seminal book on sex addiction, and many other books on sex addiction healing.

I am also a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS), a designation by The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS). As a CCPS, I have advanced training in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model which provides a sound foundation for assisting partners in their healing process. In terms of Betrayal Trauma experienced, I can help in the recognition of triggers, developing healthy coping skills, restoring trust in your abilities, and exploring the next steps for recovery.

I participate in ongoing clinical training, coursework, conferences, and lectures as a presenter in psychotherapy and sex addiction treatment. I am available to speak at conferences and workshops and have presented locally in the areas of psychotherapy and sex addiction treatment. 

I am pleased to announce I am now offering HIPAA-compliant teletherapy via ZOOM in New York State, Florida, and Massachusetts.
