Suzanne Greene JD, MA, LMFT

Over the past 15 years, a combination of diverse professional experience and extensive training have made me the therapist I am today. I specialize working with individual adults and teens. I am a published writer, lecturer and continue my research in the field to provide my clients the best care. I developed a new therapy approach for singles, Singular Systems Therapy, which was first published in Family Therapy Magazine in 2019. Additionally, I hold three certified specialities. I work from a place of genuine curiosity about my client’s lives and relationships, respecting each person’s path as unique. Though I am trained in a variety of therapies, I primarily work in narrative, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theory. I may also draw upon other similar or complimentary theoretical approaches to create a highly personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals. Therapy is a safe place to explore your thoughts and emotions to gain insight into your experiences. As you begin to heal, you will become a healthier and stronger version of yourself.
