Testimonials

In 1983 i went to Susan because of Alcohol and family problems. during our first meeting she told me "If you want to stay sober go to AA". That was over 40 years ago, I've been sober since 10/23/85. Neither my wife nor I knew what was causing our issues. we were with Susan for 20 years, at first twice a week, the last two years we saw her twice a year. during this time my wife and i adopted a beautiful baby girl, Susans's husband Ed handled the adoption for us. One other small thing, the night our daughter was born Susan and Ed were at the hospital with us, Alex was brought out of delivery and put in our arms, and we cleaned her up. Susan helped us save our marriage, this year we will celebrate our 50th year. Thank you, Susan, for everything.

We interviewed alot of therapists. We chose Susan for her problem solving and her love of what she does. We're so glad we did! It saved our family.

I have relied on Susan's advise and expertise for over 30 years. She has been wonderful and I highly recommend her for family and/or marriage counseling.

We went to Susan for help with the way we fought. What we learned not only helped us- those tools helped with all out relationships. We feel so fortunate to have found her!

We found Susan after a long search for someone to help with our relationship. We had tried therapy before. We got a lot of listening but no tools to make things better. We chose Susan for her experience and her problem-solving approach. We got more than we ever imagined!!

Susan is passionate about her work. She says she loves what she does and it shows. She worked hard for us - extra phone calls and time. She taught us how to be married with concrete tools. She didn’t just let us talk about how we felt. She helped us know what to do with what we felt that was constructive and not destructive.

Her sound advice, her interest in helping us, her caring and her insight saved our marriage! We are forever grateful to her!

Susan is really helpful and it's the best therapy experience we've had!

I have seen Susan on and off, for the past 35 yrs. Susan has helped our family with depression, anxiety, infidelity, and addiction. I cant say enough how consistent Susan is, with her message. I have always appreciated Susan's candor, you wont hear what you want to hear, you hear what you need to hear. Susan has seen me, and my family through some difficult times, and I am very thankful I had Susan to help us roadmap a plan. Nothing but high praise, for Susan!

Susan has been my therapist for over ten years. At first, she was helping me with issues in my marriage. Once my marriage improved, we continued therapy to help me deal with some family issues and anxiety and depression.

Today, my 20-year marriage is stronger than ever, and I have made great strides in my personal development. I credit Susan with truly saving my marriage and the immense amount of improvement I have made.

Susan has always made me feel important and that she is concerned about my well-being. She calls to check in and spends extra time when needed. She listens to you and understands, but what I have always most appreciated about Susan is her focusing on actions rather than feelings.

I joke with Susan that she should write a book to share her knowledge with more people! Stick with Susan and her process, and you will be amazed about how much she can help you.

Susan works very personally with her clients. It makes a tremendous difference! Thank you Susan for all your time and expertise. It saved our marriage.

Susan is a true professional in every sense of the word. I HIGHLY recommend her as a trusted family counselor.Several members of my family, including myself, engaged Susan about 2 years ago to work through issues of tension and anxiety between members that was hindering our relationships. Some live in Atlanta where she is based, but I live on the West coast. Susan has made herself available to me, adjusting for the time zone and using FaceTime. She is so responsive, caring, insightful, and direct (in a helpful way), that honestly,....I would have felt lost and very stressed had it not been for her help. And if you are fortunate and she takes you on as a client, she really commits to you and thinks through the issues you discuss even after the sessions end. She will follow up, hold one accountable (again, in a good way) and stick with you as a true partner, knowing change is often a long term process. She is not in this for the money. She is in this field because she genuinely wants to help families be emotionally healthy and connected.You will not find better! Susan is terrific!

If you're looking for a Therapist, Counselor, or Life Coach to waste your time and milk your insurance company, look elsewhere. Susan has helped in EVERY area of my life, from Divorce to my daughter's brain surgeries, she has coached/guided me through all of it. For the first time in years, I feel like life's challenges are no match. She's taught me to regain the confidence I used to have in myself and become a more self aware and empathetic Man. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!

Susan's experience is comforting and her style is non confrontational and considerate but she's no nonsense.Her passion is healing & saving marriages and relationships and in improving life overall. I highly recommend Susan..there's a reason she has such an amazing success rate...she will help you understand the "why's" and help you build a plan forward for a healthy life.Sooner or later it's time to trust someone, and Susan is trustworthy.That's important to me, and I'm sure it is also to whoever may read this review. If you are thinking " Ok Now What?" I suggest you start with Susan.

I have known Susan for almost 12 years. During this time, she has helped me with marriage counseling, parental advice and self empowerment. I enjoy sitting with her and talking with her, and I have always felt that she is listening to me and understanding the issues I 'burden' her with. When her adorable Boston Terriers join us, they are a comfort as well - they help me relax and are more like therapy dogs than a well loved pet.Susan has always given me sound advice; and has recommended great articles, books and professionals to me - for furthering my understanding and knowledge of the many situations I have dealt with... divorce, remarriage, split family, co-parenting, children with mental health disabilities, forgiveness and moving on, and more! I highly recommend Susan Adams!

Susan Adams is in the business of helping couples stay together. Marriage isn't for people who lack accountability. A relationship takes work. It requires regular maintenance no different than our bodies, our homes, or our vehicles. We all enter a relationship with some baggage, and Susan helped us sort through ours. We are eternally grateful for Susan's role in our life. If you desire peace in your home, an honest relationship, or tools to communicate with your spouse without reservation, Susan is worth the investment. Forever is a long time, and divorce shouldn't be an option.

Susan is WONDERFUL! She not only understands relationships and provides the concrete tools for getting things on track, she is skillful with creative solutions. I never felt unimportant in my visits. Susan takes the time to understand what isn't working and provides helpful suggestions to change things. She calls to follow up in between sessions. I always felt that she was genuinely interested in what was happening as we went along. I will always be grateful for her help and would send Anyone to see her!

First, let me preface by saying that I NEVER leave online reviews, and when I have, it has usually been for a negative reason. However, in this case, I've known for sometime that I really HAD to leave one of my first positive reviews. Susan is an extremely insightful and adept therapist - I really cannot heap enough praise on her. Which is kind of ironic, considering our first few sessions with her made me extremely uncomfortable. My wife and I began seeing Susan several months ago, and to say SHE SAVED OUR MARRAIGE, would be an understatement. I think the negative reviews she may have, are simply because she is blunt, honest, and to the point, and some people don't want to hear that - but this is why her approach is successful. She makes each member of the family unit acknowledge and accept what their individual shortcomings are and how that is contributing to resulting problems within the marriage. At the same time, she also helps each one realize where these issues stem from and how to best address them. Finally, she helped in ways other than just therapy. If you have external factors contributing to problems within your marriage, Susan will pull out every stop, contacting anyone she may know that can help address those issues; while she works on the relationship part. I really CANNOT say enough positive things about her. If you are really wanting to save a relationship and can handle the honesty and do the work she suggests, to truly save it, you will not be sorry having sought her out.

We called Susan to help us with our marriage. She taught us wonderful methods for talking to each other. It saved us!

I have been familiar with Susan Adams' practice for over 13 years. In all my dealings with her, she has consistently been informed, sympathetic, engaged, and squarely focused on identifying a path to producing and enacting (a) solution(s).Highly trained and deeply experienced, she is careful to make any objective and the person(s) responsible for achieving same absolutely clear. Accordingly, she does not waste her clients' time or bank account by indulging in a recitation of areas of personal feelings towards disputes which are not germane to or contributory toward arriving at a solution or accord regarding identified matters at hand which might benefit from her expertise.I would recommend her to anyone who seeks a comfort level with a professional who works in the manner I have just briefly described.Sincerely,Thomas W.

Susan was great! Gave us her time and energy and we are back on the right road!!

We went to Susan as a last attempt before divorce. We couldn't resolve our differences. There had been infidelity for each of us and things felt hopeless. Susan taught us how to talk to each other without fighting and helped us through the infidelity. It's a long road but we're making it! She is a blessing for us and our children!

Susan helped my husband and I to openly communicate and emotionally connect to work through infidelity in our marriage. She has been an integral member of my support team in bettering myself, my marriage, and in raising our children as a team.

I am so appreciative for Susan's support over our time together. I was so lucky to find her when my marriage fell apart. I was three thousand miles from home and clueless. I was grateful for her help to see that relationship more clearly and my part in it's end.

I also appreciate that Susan agreed to continue our talks when I returned home. It made that transition so much easier and smoother.

If that wasn't enough, she agreed to see me at a reduced rate which helped me financially!

Thanks to Susan's help and guidance, I feel hopeful and confident in this next chapter of my life.

Finding Susan was such a blessing. She has helped us tremendously, when we needed it most. She was instrumental in bringing my wife and I back together, she also helped me to communicate and connect better with my step-children. I would definetly recommend her to anyone needing some counseling.

It is a pleasure working with Susan. She has a clear and concise matter of providing guidance. I feel that she is genuinely interested in what is happening and looks forward to seeing a positive change.

My husband was cheating. I thought we were beyond help. Susan shed new light on everything. Our time with her saved our marriage and our family!

I've worked with Susan off and on for years. We've had a great working relationship. She has counseled me, long distance, working thru both personal and relationship issues with great success. Her advice is sound and realistic. Recently we had a life threatening situation that required skilled and solid direction. Susan has spent untold time providing resources and comfort. Her caring attitude and listening skills brought us thru a difficult time. I look to her for guidance and advice. She has never failed me. I would give her my best recommendation.

"I am the rock against which therapists bash their heads." - The Daughter in the TV Show YellowstoneTherapists typically are lacking in either skill or ability. Susan Adams lacks in neither. Many therapists are willing to listen to you drone on about your problems but they just don't know what to tell you to do about them. If you've ever heard of a therapist tell a couple to begin sentences with "I feel..." then you are aware of how awful therapists can be. When comparing be sure to ask whoever your therapist is what their training is. It makes a difference. They don't do live observations anymore, what a pity.Curiosity and skill abound.

Even though I am now in my early 80s, I think it is still a wonderful thing to see Susan for therapy. She is thoughtful, kind, and has helped me in my quest (never-ending!) in searching through my life for the sources of my resilience. Thank you, Susan!

I would recommend Susan for anyone seeking relationship and/or family help. She is the absolute best, I still see her after five years.

I called for help when my mother-in-law passed away. Susan took the time to explain how I should look for a therapist. Susan gave me great suggestions to be able help my husband.She was kind, helpful and knowledgeableThank you Susan

Susan is responsive, helpful and knowledgeable! Thank goodness we found her!

Susan has been an enormous help in teaching us the tools to make our marriage work. We feel important to her. She has checked with us during the rough times and helped us through some really tough experiences! We know she is there if we need her!

I've been talking with Susan Adams for over 20 years. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a compassionate, experienced, non-trendy therapist. Her focus is on keeping marriages and families together whenever possible and helping spouses get to the root of their problems. I would say she's one of the most perceptive -- and even wise -- people I know.

We had seen several therapists, no one until Susan gave us real tools for change! God Bless her!

Susan Adam's truly understands the fundamental principles of marriage! She provides couples with balanced advice, hard truth & the tools they need to have a successful marriage. Applying those things outside of counseling sessions has really helped us.

We highly recommend Susan Adams’ practice. After 6 years of marriage we found the need for a therapist and were so lucky to find Susan. She is patient, insightful, and informative. As you would expect she is a great listener, but also provides research-based feedback. Susan has helped save our marriage and teach us ways to deepen our relationship. We have never seen a therapist before and were worried about a clinical and critical environment. Susan is warm and patient. We love how she provides time for us to talk to her and to each other. Our sessions are such a relief and we always leave her home feeling renewed and empowered to take on our challenges. If you are looking for someone to talk to and want a safe and comforting place to work, then Susan is the person.

Our relationship needed a change. We needed help. Susan is awesome! We appreciate her honesty, kindness, sensitivity and one of my favorites, he solutions based approach. I absolutely recommend Susan and trust her with our relationship and family. She is a skilled professional and enjoys what she does. We now have a much better understanding of each other and were given the tools that put us exactly where we need to be. If you're both seriously invested about transforming your relationship and your life please give Susan a call.

Susan is truly unique in her field, offering practical, compassionate, and solution-oriented counsel. Her wisdom and insight have been invaluable in guiding me through some of the most difficult challenges of my life. It is obvious that she loves her work and is dedicated to her clients, and her process to identify patterns and change behavior is both empathetic and constructive. I highly recommend her!

I very much recommend Susan Adams, who I have been seeing on a regular basis for several years now. I first met with Susan when I was engaged and in a highly-troubled relationship. Fortunately, with Susan's help, I was able to successfully get out, and she has continued to not only support me as I navigate life and recover from the PTSD/anxiety stemming from that relationship, but grow in confidence and understanding of myself, my family, and begin dating again. I'm now in a healthy relationship, after learning to trust myself in identifying and stepping away from red flags in said dating scene. She has been incredibly patient and supportive in arguably the most difficult and vulnerable time of my life, and I couldn't be more grateful to have found her when I needed it most - and now, as I continue to grow in my personal and professional life. She's an observant listener, makes you think and reflect, and doesn't pull any punches - which I think everyone needs.

Susan helped us more than I can describe. With tools for making our relationship better and more attention than we ever could have imagined ! Cathy S.

Your efforts to help us on our journey have been over the top and I can't thank you enough! Your phone calls and caring support are beyond what I have experienced from any other professional and I am very grateful for all you do for us. Thank you for going the extra mile.

We sought Susan's help originally to help better the communication in our marriage, but its hard to think of a part of our lives she hasn't improved. She's helped in my relationships with parents, in-laws, dealing with work situations, complicated friendships, helping identify family values and raising our children. Our lives are 100% better because of the work we did with Susan. I cannot thank or recommend her enough.

Susan is the best therapist I have ever met.

After just a year of marriage, my husband and I recognized a need to speak with someone regarding our communication troubles.
We were lucky enough to find Susan and have been seeing her for a year.
In this past year, with Susan’s guidance, we have learned so much about each other as individuals and she provided us the tools to communicate more effectively. She helps us prioritize being better partners to each other and to nurture our marriage.
Susan is absolutely amazing. Patient, warm, and focuses on problem-solving, which has been so crucial for my husband and I.
In just a year, we know she has made a lasting impact on the future of our marriage.

I never thought we could recover from my infidelity but Susan showed us how to take the steps to rebuild the trust my wife lost in me. Our relationship is better than it ever was thanks to what Susan taught us. We are very grateful for her help!

Susan taught us wonderfull things about how to be together in a much better wayWe are so gratefull for her helpEdwin and Jobani

We appreciate Susian's dedication, wisdom, and sense of humor! We tried several therapists before we found her. Thank goodness we did find her! She saved our marriage!

Susan has been an enormous help in teaching us how to make our relationship so much better and stronger. No one has taught us the tools we need. She has been wonderful at teaching us WHAT To DO with our feelings instead of just TALKING about them! We appreciate her so much.

Susan loves what she does and it shows! We didn't know how to talk to each other so we couldn't resolve anything. She taught us the skills of solving problems in ways we never knew and really helped us save our marriage! She stayed in touch with us by phone when we needed her. That was new for us and it made a big difference!

Susan was wonderful! We had seen three other therapists. She was the ONLY one to tell us what to DO about the problem! We got more time than we ever paid for. Things are great now! We really appreciate what she did for us.

Recently our grown daughter had some serious problems that affected all of us—-her husband, three year old daughter, and us as her grandparents. We have found it very difficult to find a therapist to help us find SOLUTIONS to difficult problems! Susan helped us navigate a very difficult time and we are so happy we found her.
