Helen Suntag, MS, LPC

You've worked hard to get where you are, but life is still filled with uncertainty. As an experienced therapist, I've worked with college students navigating life transitions, complex trauma survivors who feel disconnected from the people around them, and high-performing professionals struggling to balance the demands of work and home. I am especially passionate about helping those with neurodivergence (whether formally diagnosed or not) make sense of historical struggles through a non-judgmental, self-compassionate lens. I meet with and help empower men, women, and non-binary adults through private telehealth sessions. You don't have to be alone with your anxious thoughts, low motivation, and sense of powerlessness trying to exist in an overwhelming world. We will work together using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to strengthen coping skills for the symptoms you most wish to address. Once these symptoms feel more manageable, we can then use other empirical therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to identify treatment goals that are built around understanding the impact of your past experiences, current obstacles, and hopes for the future (even if you don't know what those are yet!). You are a unique individual and therapy should be tailored to best support you. My approach is always rooted in empathy, a desire to fully understand your lived experience, and a belief that a bit of humor can be therapeutic in itself. Everyone can benefit from having a safe and supportive space to tackle symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors, self-esteem issues, or any other mental health difficulties. I welcome an opportunity to speak with you about your therapy goals and to see if we are a good fit, so please reach out to me via email, or phone (texts are okay too!), or the "request intro call" button above!
