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.) The two are related and are driven by a level of anxiety and insecurity that is very difficult to overcome.

Susan nonetheless 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."

On two occasions, my daughter required additional therapeutic resources. Each time, Susan came through, both in identifying what would be best for her and facilitating subsequent treatment. I'm pleased to say that my daughter's precipitous decline has been reversed and, while she's not completely out of the woods (I've learned that one rarely is), she has been given the tools to keep her dual dragons at bay and is doing much better.

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 and has always been available to us, even on weekends and late at night. As a therapist and individual, she has well earned our enduring respect and gratitude.

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.

Susan Schrott has been a true blessing to my daughter and my family. When we met Susan, our bright, promising child was slipping into frightening territory—depression, falling grades, social conflicts, an eating disorder. My husband and I had no guideposts for this unexpected chapter. Susan provided them. Kind and practical at the same time, her guidance helped us all get quickly to what needed to be done. Today, my daughter is thriving—she’s happy, ïs eating and living healthily, getting along well with other kids and doing wonderfully in school. It’s not an exaggeration to say that in my heart I thank Susan Schrott every day for the well-being of my beautiful child.

Susan Schrott has been the most effective therapist for treatment of my daughter. When she began with Susan, my daughters eating disorder was quite severe with behaviors that were difficult for any parent to manage. Through her effective style, Susan was able to give the support to our daughter that she needed and led her to a successful recovery, which to date, remains strong after 2 years. I am grateful for her comprehensive approach, her forthrightness, and her incredible skills which has helped not only our daughter, but myself as well. I highly recommend Susan for any person dealing with serious eating disorders.
