Susan Rhoads

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and direct. I strive to create a safe, grounded environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood—no matter what you bring into the session. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I listen with intention and offer honest, compassionate feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

I graduated from Missouri Southern State University with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and from Missouri State University with a master's degree in Social Work. I believe that regardless of career path, life journey, or decisions made, you have earned the right to have a sense of peace and enjoy life.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by first creating a space where they feel safe, heard, and understood. From our very first session, we work collaboratively to identify what you want to achieve—whether it's reducing anxiety, healing from trauma, improving relationships, or simply feeling more like yourself again.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your goals, and your history with the issue at hand. I’ll share how I can help, review expectations, and together we’ll decide if we’re a good fit and outline the next steps in your healing process.
