Susan Egan, LCSW — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I work with adults and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. I'm a big proponent of pet therapy, and I'm on a first-name basis with many of my clients' pets, as their presence during sessions provides a calming atmosphere.

My focus

I typically work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and relationship issues.

My approach

I believe in empowering you to create positive change. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance, helping you understand your emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive space to explore your challenges and work towards your goals.

My communication style

My communication style is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. Clients have described me as laid back, which helps put people at ease.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began during my clinical practicum at a long-term care facility serving an indigent population with mental health challenges. This population was greatly overlooked regarding mental health services. This lack of accessible care led me on my path to becoming a therapist. It was a great decision.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative exploration in order to prioritize what matters most to you.

Our first session

An initial assessment consists of exploring what led you to therapy and a brief conversation to establish rapport. Next comes gathering information about your history and personal experiences. This may feel daunting as you're revealing your story to a stranger, which is why we start with that brief conversation first.
