Suzanne Knapp, LCSW

Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and New Mexico with 12 years of experience. She has worked as a social worker, psychotherapist, supervisor, and life coach across settings such as foster care, residential programs, domestic violence shelters, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and private practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and parenting concerns.

Her style is practical and interactive. She uses straightforward conversation to identify goals and next steps. Sessions often focus on building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and improving communication. She writes goals with clients based on their skills and interests rather than other people's expectations.

Suzanne draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when they fit the work. That mix supports problem-solving, coping with life changes, and addressing compassion fatigue or first responder stress.

In therapy she combines coaching and clinical skills. That means working on clear, achievable steps while also looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. She has experience supporting people dealing with blended family challenges, intimacy-related issues, traumatic brain injury, and isolation or loneliness.

She practices in New Mexico and provides services in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the service's intake process.
