Susannah Couch, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Susannah!

I offer a supportive, grounding, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, process, and be yourself. I will offer guidance and support to you wherever you are in your therapeutic journey.

My focus

I work collaboratively and compassionately to support clients dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. These individuals may feel overwhelmed, stuck, alone, or disconnected and may want to feel more grounded, emotionally aware, gain tools to reduce symptoms, process situations they are navigating, etc.

My approach

I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy that considers individual experiences as well as family, community, and society. By exploring these dimensions, we can uncover insights and develop effective strategies to more easily navigate life. I work collaboratively and compassionately to support my clients in reaching their goals.

My communication style

My approach to therapy is supportive, genuine, and human. My goal is to create a relaxed space that can utilize evidence-based practices, but not feel cold and clinical. I want my clients to feel accepted, validated, and the experts of their own experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

Having a background in medical social work in hospice care, I enjoy providing a compassionate and safe space for processing emotions and discovering resilience during challenging and changing times.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful therapy goals, often within the first session, so that we can feel aligned and have some metrics to make sure you feel like you are making progress in therapy in the ways you hope to.

Our first session

Meeting with someone for the first time can be intimidating, but my goal is for clients to feel at ease. You can show up as you are, and I will guide you through the first session. The first session usually consists of a biopsychosocial assessment that put puts you in your environment, and collaborative goal-setting.
