Beth, a New York City parent

We met Susan after our daughter struggled for 3 years with anorexia nervosa, having tried the Maudsely Method, other eating disorder therapists, and an inpatient trial at an adolescent Medical Center adolescent unit for eating disorders. Through Susan's esteemed credentials and loving but firm approach, she began our daughter's journey into the world of healing; directed us to residential treatment when she was at her lowest point, then recaptured her upon her return to guide her to full recovery.

Her dedication to our daughter and guiding my husband and me has been a crucial part of the recovery process. All the testimonies written truly represent the professional person she is. I highly recommend Susan for anyone needing treatment for anxiety and eating disorders.

When our son first went to Susan, he struggled with issues that affected his day-to-day ability to cope with what we would consider routine. It was always frustrating for him and us that he was unable to articulate what was bothering him. It affected his ability to eat certain foods, apply thought to process, focus and prioritize. Susan was able to, from the first meeting, create a serene atmosphere off the bat. She asked the right questions and gave him the positive reinforcement he needed. She gave him the confidence in understanding that is was OK to be different but also be unafraid of something just because it is different. She challenged him in the right ways. The extraordinary positive change we saw in our son was evident and noticeable.

As we made the commitment to see someone about the challenges he faced, we did so with wariness and an underlying feeling of having failed our son in some way; where we were unable to identify and effectively treat his issues. After seeing the positive turnaround, we remain fully committed to Susan's approach and methods of diagnosing and treating our son's issues.
