Dr. Susie Mendelsohn, PA

Introduction: I treat eating disorders including Anorexia, Orthorexia, Bulimia and Binge eating disorders. In addition, I treat clients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and adjustment concerns. I am trained using the Gottman Method Couples Therapy approach. I have been fortunate enough to train under the Gottmans and obtain the skills and tools for my clients to thrive in their relationships. I counsel all types of relationships - not merely romantic relationships. Interpersonal skills are the most important skills humans need in order to develop relationships to succeed in school, work, and life in general. When working with romantic couples, they have the option of using the Gottman Relationship Checkup which will provide them with a 60-70 page analysis of their specific problem areas where, in turn, I am able to produce a treatment plan to meet the couples' specific needs. My work stands out from all the rest because of my innate ability to understand others at a much deeper level. I am unlike the traditional therapist who simply sits and listens without providing feedback. I use a proactive approach to healing and recovery and respectfully confront & guide my clients toward growth and a fulfilling lifestyle. For all of my clients - I take the time to listen, understand and genuinely care. I treat each client as a unique individual; by using assessment tools, I also customize each client's treatment to their specific needs, lifestyle and circumstances rather than a textbook outline; my clients know I am authentic and empathetic; and I provide a safe, comfortable, homey, non-judgmental environment for them. My work is my passion and for that I am quite fortunate. This profession is what I was gifted to do. It is my life's calling and the best part of it is watching my clients/patients make changes that allow them to live life with newfound tools to manage the obstacles have been blocking their way of a peaceful existence. Watching them transform in front of my eyes is the most gratifying and intrinsically rewarding aspect of my work.
