I have been practicing for over 20 years. I emphasize honest appraisal and guided self-reflection a a means of confronting issues head on.. I have a general practice focusing on couples, families and blended families. i am a native New Yorker, we like solution oriented goals... I am direct and try to provide multiple alternatives to present thoughts. You may agree or disagree with some statements. It helps to assist with insights where changes are needed. Changes within oneself, changes the way they respond to a significant other, or a family member who lives with them. co-parenting in times of separation, focuses on how to leave the "old" relationship behind when focusing on supporting the child(ren).
I am cisd/trauma trained and have had many eye opening experiences. I worked at the hospital in Landstahl Germany with soldiers who were injured and their families , in addition I had the privilege of working at ground zero with the employees of a financial company on the year of the anniversary of 911. I am a native New Yorker , focusing on goal oriented solution focused cognitive behavioral therapy (I am a diplomat in CBT) I am presently working with many frontline workers who have been affected by the pandemic, and more recently those effected by the war in Israel.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Susan Charney has not given up on me.
Very professional and understands your concerns to help with what your going through.
She’s always speaks her bias and has an amazing outlook
I know I can write Susan when I need to vent and without judgment she responds honestly to me. I really appreciate that . I am seeking guidance so I want input . I feel so much more calm since I have been talking with her. Life is the same, but I am handling it better.
