Susannah Anderson, CMHC

Susannah Anderson is Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has been with Hope and Healing since January 2020. She is a graduate of Westminster College, where she earned her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2021. She also received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Utah.

Susannah believes that relationships and attachments are at the root of healing and recovery. As relationships are strengthened and trust is repaired, healing can occur. This process is a journey, not a destination.

Susannah has had experience working with children ages 7–18, their parents, and young adults since 2013. She has a specific passion for working with adolescents, young adults, and parents – helping them to broaden their horizons and explore how their experiences and relationships are influencing them in their current lives. Susannah draws from attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, family systems theory, internal family systems theory (IFS) and trust based relational-interventions (TBRI) in her clinical work. She works from a trauma-informed, attachment-focused approach. This approach typically requires a long-term commitment to therapy and is targeted at solving the root of the issue rather than providing quick, “band-aid” fixes that leave the root of the issue unresolved.
