Fredrickson Susan MS MFC

It seems like a very strange thing to do, to write a Unilocal review for a therapist, but I’ve had a number of therapists in my day – 4 before Susan – and I know that most therapists are not effective at working with the kind of deep-​rooted issues I have. So having found one who is very good – who is very experienced and knowledgeable and skilled – I am grateful and want to tell others.
What makes her so special? Being so experienced, she knows what to say and – just as important – knows when to say it and how, and when not to say anything, but to scribble down what I’ve just said as if it’s very important. I love that. She is skilled at EMDR (both for building inner resources and dealing with painful memories) and also at Lifespan Integration, a technique I didn’t know about before which has proven to be very effective. (Please be wary of a therapist who doesn’t know some techniques; talk alone is usually not enough. A dedicated professional keeps learning throughout her career.)
She is also warm and welcoming. I know she can’t always be glad to see me, but she always acts like she is, and I know that’s important: if your therapist doesn’t seem to like and respect you, there’s no way she will help you to heal.
So I highly recommend Susan Fredrickson. As far as I can tell, she’s one in a million. Okay, one in a hundred. My issue is childhood trauma; I expect she’s good with other issues. She has a profile in Psychology Today.
