More about Susan

- LPC
Welcome, I am Dr. Susan Schaming, a therapist licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with 37 years of professional work experience. My journey is diverse with practice in PK-12 schools, mental health centers, university, and hospital settings. I assist clients with relationship challenges, depression/anxiety, coping with life changes/transitions, school related topics, parenting issues, and executive/professional coaching.
I was trained in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy, yet that does not solely inform or limit my work. I believe that YOU are the expert of your life story; I help you identify your strengths that will assist you in meeting challenges.
My clients leave their first session with homework to begin their journey to living their best life.
Conversely, I consider my strengths [compassion, empathy, and active listening] extremely useful when supporting individuals to heal after grief/trauma or when suffering from depression.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage; I am proud of you for getting started! I have been in therapy at different times throughout my life; hence, I believe counseling and therapy are pathways to better living. I look forward to meeting you and let's begin your journey today. [I am willing to schedule evening and weekend appointments on limited basis if necessary to meet client schedules].

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
