Individual Therapy
Your therapy experience will be as unique as you are, and it will be one that you build collaboratively with your therapist. We believe that therapeutic success depends just as much on the quality of our relationship as on the particular strategies we employ. Our work is grounded in relational psychodynamic and client-centered theory — in short, we believe that our working relationship can bring to light the themes and values most important to you while we work towards healing and change. We may incorporate mindfulness techniques and principles from cognitive behavioral and experiential and body-based therapies as well, to offer symptom relief and to facilitate getting unstuck from entrenched patterns.
We offer in-person and telehealth sessions to adults of all ages as well as adolescents (11 and up).
Couple + Family Therapy
Deciding to come to therapy together is one of the most important steps a couple or family unit can take towards transformative change. Being able to work with a whole system in therapy — rather than just with one individual within that system — allows the family unit to access untapped strengths and resources and to facilitate mutual healing. Whether you are looking to build intimacy in your relationship or family dynamic or need help working through old patterns, our work will help you connect with your innate emotional wisdom to strengthen compassion for yourself and your loved ones and promote mutual understanding.
Dr. Suzuki welcomes couple and family clients. She previously taught family and couple work to advanced doctoral students in psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Johnson also provides couples therapy.
