When faced with the realization that my long term relationship was not what it seemed I made a choice to seek help in how to proceed. I didn’t know if I needed the guidance to stay or to leave but I did know it was bigger than I could handle alone. I made a call to Susan within hours of finding out that, although not ongoing, long term infidelity was now a part of my life. She saw me that same day and that week we both entered couples therapy. For two years Susan was a constant in our lives, she enabled us to talk in a safe, non judgmental space. She is calming, attentive to the needs of her clients and skilled at allowing us to come to our own conclusions. There is a stigma attached to infidelity and at times I judged myself for staying whereas Susan never judged me or my partner. We waded through years of issues that held us back from moving forward addressing key problems that we didn’t know we had until we put the work into ourselves and each other. Susan gave us the tools to not only save a long term relationship but to make it so much better than we could ever have hoped for. I am positive we would not have survived this had we not met Susan. Her words and advice will stay with us.

I am pleased to say that my wife and I have an even stronger relationship now. Susan provided us with some tools and those tools helped immeasurably.
Sometimes couples and individuals are faced with complex and life-altering decisions. My wife and I felt that it would be best to get some counseling immediately. We felt that our 15 years of marriage was important enough to seek the advise of a professional trained specifically to listen, analyze, and then provide recommendations best suited for us. We were fortunate enough to find Susan!
Over the course of our dozen or so sessions with Susan, she helped us uncover some things to help us get back on a very loving and caring path. Susan’s compassionate approach included a lot of questions and self-examination. She never judges us. She listens intently and then asks the most poignant and thought-provoking questions that evoke and solicit responses and a ton of emotions. Susan gave us some recommendations and “homework” that we readily incorporated into our new routine. Now, my wife and I talk a lot more, we ride bikes together, we watch tv together, and we go to bed together every night. We even switched sides on the bed so we don’t have our backs toward each other all night long!
Without Susan’s guidance and powerful, positive insight, I’m not sure if we would be where we are right now. We are both so thankful that we found Susan. She has been very instrumental in saving our marriage and helping us to truly be happier in our marriage than we have ever been.
