Suzanne McColl, LPC

As a Workshop Leader, Speaker, and Telehealth Psychotherapist I work with women in leadership roles to resolve limiting beliefs caused by trauma, so they can feel confident and empowered to live up to their highest potential in all areas of life. Whether you are an entrepreneur, hold a management role at work or are starting your career, I’m passionate about using EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) to help you overcome insecurities, anxiety, depression, and impostor syndrome.

This is where I thrive.

How I refuel: When I’m not working I’m walking my dog Charlie, connecting with my adult children and getting out in nature. You’ll find me walking along the Sound, thinking of my next video topic 🙂
