Suzy Santos, ACMHC

Therapist

Suzy Santos, MA, MS, CMHC is a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a licensed school counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. 

Suzy specializes in working with adults healing from trauma, including PTSD and complex trauma. Her primary therapeutic modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps clients safely process and move beyond distressing memories. Suzy believes that the brain is naturally wired for healing, and EMDR offers a structured, supportive space for that healing to unfold at each individual's own pace. She creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences and build emotional resilience.
