Susan Maxfield

My communication style

I have a very informal, relaxed approach. If you work with me, you will feel heard and understood, you will be given helpful tools for managing and reducing your symptoms, and you will feel like you are not walking through your life's difficulties and hardships alone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I suffered a clinical depression beginning my senior year of high school, and I remember how debilitating it was and the difficulty my parents had in understanding it. I also remember the difficulty I had finding a therapist who understood or was helpful, & I went to many therapists before finding a psychologist & psychiatrist who really helped me.

My goals for you

I ask clients what changes they would like to see in their lives, and go from there in establishing realistic goals.

Our first session

Clients should expect our first session to be an intake, an information gathering session where I learn more about you and we establish a rapport. Insurances require a diagnosis to bill so I will be utilizing your answers to intake questions to complete a diagnosis.
