I'm Suzanne McKenna, LMFT

I create a safe, nurturing environment for my clients to better understand themselves, so they can grow in self-understanding, self-compassion and self-love.

I believe this is the path that leads towards deep healing. I utilize mindfulness, somatic work and Internal Family Systems parts work, to help clients’ nervous systems relax so healing can occur. 

In particular, I love working with new moms, new dads, and new parenthood in general, with my individual clients and couples as well. The transition to parenthood is a sacred journey that can include deep joys and difficult challenges. I like to partner with my clients as they navigate the changes that occur when we become mothers, fathers, and parents.

I have three grown children of my own, and while I absolutely loved (and still love) being a mother, I could have used more support myself on my journey. Often, challenges from our pasts are more deeply felt and revealed in the process of becoming a mother/parent and I truly believe that parenting is the most important job we have and we all deserve to have support along the journey. With families living farther away from each other and many people without family support at all, I like to be a part of that support system for my clients. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, Scout and Cody, and working out on my Peloton. I enjoy time with family and friends and I love to read.
