Susan G Schmitz, MSW, LISW and Sarah K Anderson, MSW, LISW work with adults, adolescents and some older elementary school-aged children along with their families. Common presenting issues include anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulty with life transitions such as divorce, grief and loss, and relationship issues. We employ a strengths-based approach within a non-judgmental, eclectic framework. We will work together to tailor treatment plans to your needs. Each of us offers a unique, yet similar approach, having been trained a generation apart, but within the same theories and modalities.
We offer expertise in experiential methods (play, art, sandtray) and EMDR with a Cognitive-Behavioral foundation. We have experience in supervision and training other clinicians along with extensive experience with many client concerns.
We apply concepts of trauma-based work and attachment issues (what happened to you instead of what is wrong with you), mindfulness, coping skills,and brain science with what we already know and do: our own particular interplay with the world.
