Suzanna Derewicz (She/They)

I am primarily a psychodynamic psychotherapist, which is a form of depth therapy that focuses on our emotional experiences, investigates the ways we may defend ourselves against anxiety or overwhelm in our lives, observes patterns we may exhibit in our relationships with others and ourselves, our pasts, and our wishes or longings for the present and future, including their intersections. I also have training in DBT-Informed Therapy, which puts emphasis on shifting the behaviors and reactions to life that no longer seem to work for us, balancing self-compassion and radical acceptance of the present as it is with the desire to change our lives for the better. I am versed in helping folks improve their self-esteem and self-concept, their relationships, their experience of emotions and the behaviors connected to their emotions. I can also support folks in processing past relational trauma, and shifting prospectively painful core beliefs they may carry about themselves and the world.
