Suzanne Merz-Reno

My communication style

I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space and utilize curiosity to better understand my client's challenges and goals. I sincerely believe that the client is the expert in their own life and will direct my clients to their internal wisdom. When appropriate, I use humor and self-disclosure to further connect with my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping others. My own experience with therapy in the context of treating chronic pain and increasing self-acceptance has led to my expertise in treating trauma and supporting self-compassion in my clients. It is an honor to witness and be present with each individual that I work with.

My goals for you

Goal setting can often be a challenge when there are many complex needs in your life. I support my client in identifying their core values as a guide to treatment planning.

Our first session

In the first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and clarifying treatment plan goals. By the end, I am hoping you have a sense of the concrete approaches we will work on together for your healing as well as a dedicated, safe space to further develop a deeper relationship with each other and with your sense of self.
