Susan Chamandy
Introduction
I primarily use a Psychodynamic approach in my counseling work to help clients gain a better understanding of themselves – their feelings, thoughts, behaviors and priorities – and to help clients identify and harness their personal strengths to make lasting change. I include other approaches in my work, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness, when needed. My priority is to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can express their concerns, talk about their relationships, and feel safe enough to explore themselves deeply. I have enjoyed working with college students for much of my career, addressing depression and grief, anxiety and panic, trauma, substance abuse issues, family conflict, relationship issues and life transition issues. I have also enjoyed working with LGBTQ clients and have an interest in working with those engaged in creative work. I earned my Masters in Social Work at Boston University and have worked in the field for 20 years. Prior to training to become a psychotherapist, I earned two Master of Fine Arts degrees in fiction writing. I'm typically available to see clients in the morning and early afternoons, Tuesday through Friday.
