“I first met Susan when I brought my 16 year old daughter, a junior in High School to her. My daughter was anorexic and emotionally and socially in a bad place. It was quite a scary time for our family and I interviewed several therapists before choosing Susan.
Susan was brilliant! She gave our daughter the tools to deal with difficult life situations, including family dynamics, academics and peer social pressures. Susan was caring and candid, insightful, and nurturing. Susan was life changing!! I could not be more grateful for her healing my daughter and teaching her life's skills that she will take with her forever. I cannot find the words for my gratitude.”

The darkness of an eating disorder is indescribable. I was absolutely certain that I would never, ever be normal around food. I was certain that I would never not be tortured by my body. I had always been skeptical about therapy. But the depth of my sessions with Susan cannot be summarized. She does not just passively listen but actively engages and responds. She taught me radical self acceptance.
She gave me concrete tools that have become a regular part of my life. It is truly a miracle to me that I live now, and have for years, completely free of the torment of an eating disorder and I owe that to Susan. I still use the tools that she gave me in my career and my journey through womanhood. As a mother now of daughters, I am forever grateful for her influence in my life, which has allowed me to be fully present for my girls and to experience joy that I never thought possible.”
— Melanie, a former patient
“It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Susan Schrott as both a therapist and clinical supervisor. Susan has the rare ability to meet everyone with whom she interacts—be they colleague or client—at his or her own level of awareness and capacity to work, effortlessly establishing safe and open-hearted rapport. As my own mentor, I have found Susan to be insightful, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable; all in all, a supportive, inspiring presence. An artist in every sense of the word, she regularly brings a uniquely imaginative flair to find creative ways to engage each person with whom she works. Susan is a clinician extraordinaire.”

“We selected Susan Schrott to be the primary psychotherapist for our then-12-year-old daughter, who had developed anorexia nervosa. Nearly 7 years later, our daughter has recovered fully and is thriving as a college student, though she still has – and will continue to have –weekly therapeutic sessions with Susan.
Susan Schrott has a rare combination of talents and skills that have been extraordinarily valuable to our daughter’s therapy: Susan is highly collaborative; facilitating coordinated planning and treatment decisions with my husband and me, along with our daughter’s pediatrician, psychiatrist, and nutritionist. And as our daughter become healthier and closer to adulthood, involving her as a member of the team.
Having a child suffering from a life-threatening illness is terrifying. Susan Schrott stewarded us through very difficult times … she enabled our daughter to look forward to a full, happy and healthy life. Susan is a best partner a parent with a sick child can have.”

“Susan Schrott is a highly effective therapist who combines a supreme command of her craft with a remarkable degree of empathy- both for her clients and their loved ones. My wife and I were referred to Susan as our daughter began dealing with two insidious demons: anorexia and episodic alcoholism (or binge drinking.)
[She]… worked tirelessly to lay bare our daughter's underlying issues and confront them head on. At the same time, she worked directly on my daughter's symptoms and prescribed various methods—some of which required my wife's and my involvement—to successfully do a bit of ‘neural rewiring.’
Susan has been our daughter's primary ‘tool giver. ‘She has also given my wife and myself an inordinate amount of support during this journey … she has well earned our enduring respect and gratitude.”
- Glen, a parent
