Susan Wildemann, LCSW

Susan Wildemann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from Boston University and 33 years of clinical experience. She practices in New York and brings a broad background treating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, parenting and family issues, anger and self-esteem challenges, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also works with caregivers and people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability, and has experience supporting individuals with intellectual disability, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury.

Her approach is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Clinical methods she draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, applied in ways that fit a client’s situation and goals.

Susan emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies alongside exploration of deeper themes, aiming to support people as they move toward more satisfying and manageable lives. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy while noting that she is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
