About Dr. Susan Cetlin
Licensed Psychologist & Health Service Provider

Telehealth video and phone remote sessions are being provided for most services. In person sessions are available.

With over 30 years experience, I provide psychotherapy, supportive counseling, evaluation, consultation, wellness education, and life guidance in a warm, friendly and compassionate manner to adults, teens, and families. My focus is on guiding clients to identify their strengths, build self confidence, find new understanding and insight, learn new coping skills to overcome life challenges and empowering them to be the best they can be. Clients often seek help for stress, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, loss grief, trauma and PTSD, learning and behavioral difficulty, ADD or ADHD, developmental issues, relationship conflicts, life transitions, parenting challenges, health & medical concerns, physical pain, weight loss, preparing for bariatric surgery and adjusting to post surgery challenges, pregnancy and new parenthood, infertility, pregnancy & infant loss and Asperger's Disorder and PDD.

My therapy approach is individualized and may include cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, supportive, mind/body techniques and mindfulness meditation*. I am trained in the energy techniques of EFT and TFT (Emotional Freedom and Thought Field Therapies). I have extensive experience helping clients learn meditation techniques, including mindfulness meditation*, as well as relaxation and visualization techniques. I am a certified instructor in Medical Qi Gong, a movement practice beneficial for emotional and physical well being. I am interested in being available to support other therapists, as well as medical professionals.

In addition to the above offerings, I help clients who are interested in exploring the role of spirituality in the enhancement of their psychological well being and health, as well as learning from wisdom and religious traditions to aid in their understanding of their own health and healing.

I lead regular meditation groups and workshops in my volunteer capacity as a coordinator of a community resource for spirituality, wellness and healing.
