Suzanne Amadi

My communication style

I use an interpersonally warm approach when interacting with clients. I also acknowledge the relevance of culture and identity when these factors are highlighted by my clients during care. I use a collaborative approach when providing structured evidence-based care while using my client's goals as a guiding post for their treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since a young age, I found myself empathic and sensitive to others' feelings and concerns. I've endured experiences that sparked my interest in understanding human behavior and emotions. I adore being a listening ear and support for those invested in their recovery and searching for a more fulfilling life.

My goals for you

I invite you to share your goals for treatment in your own words. Together, we create a problem list that translates into specific goals to target during treatment. I relate general treatment goals to your specific needs.

Our first session

My goal is for us to build rapport. You can expect a brief introduction, a review of confidentiality and policies, and a discussion of what brings you to therapy. This session is for you to describe your symptoms and experiences, and for me to understand their impact on your life. We'll discuss what being in therapy means and plan for treatment.

I identify as...

• Female
