Suzanne Teare, LCSW
EMDR, IFS, and KAP Therapist | Practicing since 2019
MSW Adult Mental Health and Wellness
University of Southern California
It is challenging to need to be “put together” on the outside but on the inside feel we are barely hanging on. As someone who has worked in corporate careers, raised a family, owned businesses, and experienced many challenging life transitions, I know what it's like to struggle with finding peace and fulfilling connections.
​​
I believe wholeheartedly in your ability to heal and thrive, and I’m committed to supporting you in uncovering and nurturing your inner strengths.​​​​​ I aim to help you understand how your past experiences may be affecting your present experiences and to work together on building coping skills and inner resources that help you feel empowered to accomplish your goals and cultivate meaningful connections. My goal is also to support you in developing a compassionate relationship with yourself, leading to the more peaceful, connected, and fulfilling life that you desire.
As a compassion-oriented, human-first therapist, my approach centers on meeting you where you are in the present moment, connecting with you and collaborating to identify what you need, and engaging in processes that help move you towards your desired outcomes.
