Susan Foley, LICSW — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Mashpee, Massachusetts, and work with clients statewide via Telehealth. I work with adults, seniors, and couples. I specialize in addiction, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, stress, marriage, communication, and grief issues.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults, couples, and seniors who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and the related pressures that arise, as well as those struggling with past issues that may continue to burden them. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and alcoholism/addictions.

My approach

I primarily use Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build a shared understanding of your reality and create a path forward. My approach varies based on your unique needs, allowing us to work together in ways that feel right for you.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, personable, open, and interactive. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen and create a safe, non-judgmental space during each session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always been drawn to helping people. I have taken on a helping role, be it as a trusted family member, loyal friend, or professional confidant. My interest and love for this work grew from there. I enjoy helping individuals overcome their struggles and become the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative. We'll work together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This starts by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you’ve been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand some of what brought you to therapy. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping us get a sense of where we should go from there.
