Suzanne Holtshouser, MSW, LCSW (She/Her)

Intake Coordinator/Clinical Therapist

Whether this is your first time seeking a clinical therapist, or you’ve found yourself circling back, I’m happy you’re here. My clinical background has served people of all ages, from years of experience as a School Therapist in an elementary school, to that of a Social Worker in Hospice Care. I have developed suicide prevention and awareness curriculums and culturally responsive curriculums for adolescents, led sexual abuse prevention programs, led crisis response teams, and served as a member of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. I am an ally to people of color (POC), as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Trust and rapport are the greatest tools in my skill set. I lead clinical sessions with honesty, humor, and heart, using a person-centered, non-judgmental approach that inspires change and improves the quality of life for my clients. With each positive and supportive interaction I share with a client, we are adding protective factors to their well-being. 

Presence is power.

We got this!
