Founder

Susan is only accepting new clients for intensives.

Susan is the founder of Whole Self Healing of Arizona (WSHAZ). Originally from Mississippi, she moved to Arizona in 2016 to complete her internship working with individuals in recovery from eating disorders, trauma, and mood disorders. She has worked in Residential, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and outpatient levels of care supporting those in the recovery process.

Susan's belief in addressing the root cause of symptoms led her to advanced training and education in the treatment of trauma. She has completed trainings in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Equine Assisted EMDR, Structural Dissociation Theory, Deep Brain Reorienting (Levels 1-3), and is a certified provider of Stephen Porges' Safe and Sound Protocol. She receives ongoing consultation and training in the treatment of complex trauma & dissociation. 

Passionate about education and training, Susan provides clinical supervision to LACs and LMSWs working towards their independent license. She offers case consulting services to therapists and dietitians treating clients presenting with complex trauma and disordered eating, an area dear to her heart.
