About Susan Brown
Susan Brown is a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, family challenges, career transitions, and concerns around eating and body image. She holds psychology licenses in Pennsylvania (PA Psychologist PS008999L) and Florida (FL Psychologist PY11787), indicating formal authorization to practice in both states. Over two decades she has blended clinical and organizational perspectives to offer thoughtful, research-informed talk therapy that centers each person’s goals and circumstances.
Susan frequently works with women and girls managing the complex demands of contemporary life, and she brings particular expertise to body image and eating-related difficulties as well as to depression and anxiety. Her approach combines established therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with pragmatic life skills coaching that emphasizes concrete, observable practices. That coaching component focuses on skills like listening, negotiation, organization, goal setting, and progress management so families and adolescents can build more productive, satisfying relationships over time.
She also supports adolescents and their parents through the shifting dynamics of growing independence, helping families negotiate developmental milestones while preserving connection. Susan works with adult children of alcoholics to address learned survival strategies that can interfere with intimacy and with other adults who want a structured, supportive process to build healthier relationships. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, Imago relationship techniques, mindfulness-informed practices, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies, applied flexibly to meet each person’s needs.
Susan aims to help people develop a clearer sense of self, manage impulsivity and guilt, address attachment and communication problems, and pursue meaningful life and career goals. She integrates assessment-driven planning with skills practice so clients leave therapy with both insight and practical tools for change.
