About Susan

I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing. I am Susan Barrett, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist with 20 years of experience in mental health care. My passion is helping people build the skills and confidence they need for lasting change. I specialize in treating anxiety-related conditions—panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, and ADHD—as well as adult autism spectrum disorder and depression.

I earned my master's in counseling psychology from the University of North Texas and my Psy.D. in clinical psychology from Ryokan College. I'm also a diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies, having completed the rigorous training and supervision required to earn that distinction.

My approach to therapy is collaborative. I bring my clinical expertise together with your self-knowledge, past experiences, and preferences to build a plan that works for you. I want you to feel supported, understood, and valued from the start.

"Whether you are looking for supportive guidance while navigating a challenging situation or as you turn toward a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals."

Get to know Susan

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

The opportunity to share your situation and what you would like to accomplish in therapy, and the chance to learn more about what therapy with me might be like.

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?

A thorough understanding of the problems to be addressed, the goals that will guide our work together, and a roadmap, or plan, for how we will accomplish those goals.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

In addition to reading, I enjoy hiking, and other outdoor activities, with my husband and our German Shepherd.
