Suzanne is very very personable. I felt comfortable with her right away (which is saying something). I found a keeper.

I’ve been working with Suzanne for years now. She listens to my needs and I feel that my mental health has improved. I was always skeptical about visiting therapists. I can honestly say that I have found the right therapist for me. Thank you for all your hard work Suzanne!

Suzanne listens and supports me with ideas and kindness. I respect her as a professional because she doesn't talk down to me, or simply nod, and say one word acknowledgments. My depression and self-esteem have improved!

Suzanne Alley is an ally! She's understanding, casual, and honest with you. It's like I'm talking to a friend.

Written on Aug 04, 2023 after therapy with Suzanne for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self esteem

Talking to Suzanne is like talking to my best friend. She really understands what's important to me. Her advice is straight forward and practical. She doesn't judge. She helps me make sense of what's going on in my head. My two previous attempts at therapy were horrible. I'm glad I gave therapy another try and got Suzanne as my therapist. I've even recommended her to one of my closest friends.

Suzanne is a remarkable counselor. She was responsive, punctual and always extremely professional. She helped me work through my issues with compassion and honesty.

She helped me learn accountability as well as compassion and I'm eternally grateful for her help and for teencounseling.com.
