Susan Frambes

She has worked extensively with people who have experienced childhood trauma, physical or emotional abuse, domestic violence, and stalking, and she also helps clients navigating grief, relationship and family problems, self-esteem and body-image concerns, and compassion fatigue. Susan takes an individualized approach, offering talk-based therapies that emphasize practical coping skills, insight, and real-world problem solving.

She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and trauma-focused strategies, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and preferences. Her practice accommodates varied communication styles, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she aims to be responsive to client messages while arranging scheduling to fit client availability.

As a clinician with long experience in addictive disorders and disability-related family work, Susan blends supportive, goal-oriented methods with attention to underlying emotional patterns. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps people let go of what holds them back and move toward clearer, more manageable steps forward.
