Now Accepting New Clients
You may look capable on the outside while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. I work with adults carrying the effects of trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, sexual assault, depression, and major life changes — and with people for whom drinking or substance use became part of how they coped. I am dually licensed as a mental health counselor and a clinical addictions specialist, which means you do not have to choose which one to treat first, or tell your story twice.
Immediate openings this week — afternoons, evenings and weekends · In person in North Raleigh or telehealth anywhere in NC · In network with BCBS and Aetna, plus self-pay · Free 15-minute consultation
About Susan
Susan Stephens specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and professionals navigating burnout and performance anxiety.
Susan utilizes EMDR combined with CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches — matching the method to your goals rather than asking you to fit a single model.
Her focus is trauma recovery, rebuilding healthy relationships, and reconnecting clients with their authentic selves — so that therapy doesn't just reduce symptoms, but restores confidence and direction.
