Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my site. I am Dr. Susan Dutcher and am licensed as a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist. I began working in the mental health field in 2000 and have over 18 years of clinical experience. I enjoy working with those experiencing a desire for continued healing and growth in their personal, professional, and spiritual journeys. My focus involves helping clients envision positive change and develop goals for healing and growth.
In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide psychological evaluations (ages 7-65) for various issues including (but not limited to) the following ADHD, Anxiety, Cognitive Functioning (IQ), bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression, diagnostic clarification for emotional/behavior problems.
I'm here to help you dig out, and start feeling hopeful and happier.
My holistic approach is strengths-based and tailored to the client. It is important to me to create a sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship while blending research based interventions from family systems, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, experiential, and psychodynamic models. Through the years, I have developed an appreciation of somatic experiencing and incorporate this perspective when seeing patients.
I utilize traditional talk therapy, experiential components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, hypnosis, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have completed advanced training and certification through EMDRIA as a certified EMDR therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. As an adjunct to the therapeutic process, I blend training from meditation and Reiki courses to assist in facilitating growth and healing.
