About me
Life has its challenges. As a teenager, you are often experiencing some of its most unique! You are beginning an exciting journey of self discovery, making decisions about your own identity in a world with endless possibilities. In my over 30 year career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my motivation is to make a positive difference in the time I am given in this world. My first recommendation to all clients is to advocate for yourself as you choose your therapist. Invest in yourself and your value to make certain you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. Often if the experience isn't what you expected, a teenager will hesitate to request an alternative therapist, ultimately discontinuing therapy with unmet needs. The connection between you and your therapist is instrumental in successful therapy. It is important to begin the relationship clarifying that the goal is not for me to report to your parents what their teenager is sharing but with that teen's permission, help them learn to communicate in a healthy, safe approach, an approach which will benefit them throughout their lives. Therapy is a challenging process and your willingness to share what might be a painful history is a gift I do not accept lightly. It is important to me to honor your journey, acknowledging the vulnerability of opening past chapters of a personal story to someone who begins as a stranger. The names of the therapeutic modalities I choose to implement are not the priority as you explore your willingness to begin this process. It will be necessary for you to begin with the goal to trust in my competence and experience to qualitatively respond to what you are currently managing. Your story has begun, you have chapters written and as Natasha Bedingfield so eloquently sang in her song "Unwritten", the rest is unwritten and the pen is in your hand. I would be excited to learn about your chapters so far and even more excited to get to join you as you make decisions about where your story is going.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Beck Case. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Susan, is empathetic, understanding and accepting. She does not rush things or make judgements. I feel very comfortable working with her and I feel very supported. She really is a gift to the world.
Fabulous
Susan is always ready to listen and offers great feedback! She is available any time to chat and always responds in a timely manner. She is very sweet and I appreciate all the time I have spent with her as my therapist (almost 2 years now).
I have already recommended both Susan and teen counseling to others. Susan is wonderful and we’re grateful to have been matched with her.
A wonderful therapist that has made a great connection with my daughter and provided a useful avenue for her to bring up any issues she has that are difficult for her to share with a parent.
Therapy isn't easy but if you have Susan as your therapist you have won the lottery! She makes the hard work feel lighter. She has gotten to know each one of us by her patient listening ear and tailors her guidance to reach us in our own way in order to improve our relationship. She truly cares and inspires a beautiful change in our relationship. We couldn't be more grateful for her!
Amazing therapist and really listens. She us such a bright and warm person. She really is a strong advocate for her clients and their best interests.
Susan is the most wonderful therapist on every level. She is very professional, understanding, very helpful and great at listening and helping me sift through my emotions and life challenges. My time with her has been very progressive and I cannot speak highly enough about her expertise and authenticity as a therapist!

Amazing therapist. A great listener, full of compassion and empathy. Great advice, calm, and down-to-earth. Makes you feel safe and extremely comfortable. Flexible and considerate with time!! Talking with Susan has been an immensely important part of my healing journey.
Extremely therapeutic!
Susan has been such a great help for my husband and I. She listens to our problems, asks questions, and helps us with understanding each other. It is always nice having an outsiders perspective in, and she has been the best!
Very kind and patient
Susan is a wonderful, patient, kind & caring woman who listens well and gives great advice. Her schedule was flexible, she understood my issues with connection and need to reschedule the call, and she was very kind about it all. She gave me fantastic advice and relief on a lot of issues I’m dealing with right now and it was really nice to get lots off my chest and to know that it’s okay to be feeling the way I’m feeling dealing with these issues. Thank you so much Susan!
