Just starting my therapy but have enjoyed what I have had.

Written on Jan 29, 2023 after therapy with Susan for 7 months on issues concerning depression, and relationship issues

Susan has been everything I have needed and more. She is patient and understanding while not being judgemental. She is insightful on the tools needed to help work through your struggles. She is a positive influence and someone you can call an ally. She will help get you through and come out better on the other side. Highly recommended for anyone doubting their value, struggling with depression, complex emotional situations and overall guidance through life’s ups and downs.

I am very blessed to have had Susan Francis as my therapist. She made me feel comfortable enough to talk about my past life. I did not realize how mental and physical abusive my past was. I’m a new person, able to talk freely, be my own person. I will definitely refer Susan to a friend. Susan told me that I can come back to her, if need to. Thank you!

Written on Nov 30, 2022 after therapy with Susan for 5 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, and coping with life changes

Susan has been the absolute definition of an angel. I was in a bad place about my own self confidence and belief in myself. Susan listened to my entire story, got to know me and discussed every thing that happened. She helped me restore and gain a lot of confidence in myself and I am in a much better place compared to when I first met her. I will be recommending her as a therapist to anyone that I know who is in need of one.

Susan is empathetic, highly intuitive and intelligent so has the ability to accurately assess a situation or issue quickly and work towards a solution.
