Suzanne Knapp, LCSW

Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience across social work, psychotherapy, supervision, and life coaching. She has practiced in a wide range of settings including foster care, group residences, domestic violence shelters, schools, assisted living facilities, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. That breadth of experience has shaped a flexible, person-focused approach to support people facing many different concerns and life transitions.

Suzanne enjoys helping individuals clarify their purpose, strengthen self-esteem and confidence, and deepen their self-understanding. Her style is eclectic, engaging, and interactive, and she emphasizes collaborative goal-setting rooted in each person’s interests, values, and strengths rather than outside expectations. She combines humanistic perspectives with solution-focused work and draws on several well-established methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive techniques, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

In practice she supports people through issues like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family challenges, career questions, and identity-related matters. She also brings experience addressing compassion fatigue, first responder issues, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and recovery after traumatic brain injury. Suzanne frames her work as both therapeutic and coaching-oriented, offering guidance and support aimed at helping people move toward clearer goals and a more grounded sense of self. She holds active LCSW licensure in New York and New Mexico and brings a strengths-based, respectful presence to her clinical work.
