You might recognize the feeling first
Everyday words matter more than labels. If one of these sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
“My mind won’t slow down.”
“I’m concerned about my drinking.”
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“Someone I love is struggling.”
“My emotions feel too big to manage.”
“I’m not sure where I fit in.”
Suzanne Hartness Fentress, LISW-CP · 25+ years of clinical experience
Meet Suzanne
Suzanne Hartness Fentress, LISW-CP, has more than 25 years of clinical experience in private practice, outpatient care, hospital settings, and directing a 28-day substance abuse recovery center.
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapy and respect for each person’s beliefs, values, and cultural background. Faith and spirituality are welcome in our conversations when they matter to you.
Individual therapy for adults
Many people come in with more than one of these. You don’t need to know exactly what to call it. We’ll figure out where to start together.
What I help with
Anxiety and overthinking
Quiet the constant worry and overthinking, and build practical tools that help you feel calmer, steadier, and more in control of your day.
Life transitions
Ease the stress of divorce, retirement, caregiving, or a career change, and find your footing, clarity, and sense of purpose again.
Depression and low mood
Lift the heaviness that makes everything feel like work, and reconnect with the energy, motivation, and enjoyment that matter most to you.
Substance use and families
Loosen the hold drinking or use has on your life, and rebuild trust, boundaries, and healthier ways of coping for you and your family.
Practical skills, from real DBT training
Together we’ll understand the patterns behind what you’re feeling and build skills you can use outside our sessions. My training includes extensive work in Dialectical Behavior Therapy through Behavioral Tech and with DBT’s founder, Dr. Marsha Linehan, alongside CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused approaches.
