About

I’m Susan Epstein, LCSW, a seasoned psychotherapist with decades of experience supporting adults through life’s most complex emotional challenges. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, I’m here to help you find clarity and healing. With deep expertise in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, I offer a compassionate, grounded space where you can explore what’s holding you back and move forward with greater ease. My approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical tools drawn from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness. Every session is tailored to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're navigating relationship issues, career stress, parenting struggles, or unresolved experiences from the past, I bring a calm presence and a strategic lens to support your healing and growth. I don’t believe in quick fixes or sugarcoating — just honest, thoughtful therapy that helps you create real, sustainable change from the inside out. I see clients virtually via secure video and offer flexible daytime appointments. I accept most major insurance plans and also offer a self-pay option for those who prefer it. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk alongside you. -Susan Susan Epstein Contact: 860-908-0805 [email protected] ➡️➡️ Specialties: Psychotherapy, Trauma Recovery, Anxiety and Depression Treatment, Life Transitions, Grief and Loss, Emotional Resilience, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Relationship Challenges, Parenting Support, Adult Development, Workshop Facilitation, Clinical Supervision, Emotional Wellness, Personal Growth, Insight-Oriented Therapy, Mental Health Education, Group Therapy Design, Therapeutic Groups, Telehealth Therapy, Self-Pay and Insurance-Based Practice, Reflective Practice, Professional Boundaries, Ethics in Mental Health, Therapist Mentorship.
