“Susan is a professional, empathetic and impressive psychologist. When my young son was in serious crisis she saw us quickly, identified the issue, and got him started with medication right away. She was always easily accessible with questions and concerns and later was able to diagnose him with what a neuropsych test missed. Susan is also now helping me with my challenges as well. She is genuinely caring and very knowledgeable and accessible. I would recommend her service to anyone!”
