Susan Zola,
LCSW, CCPS, CSAT
"Peace: It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
My clients have commonly suffered from anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, personality disorders (i.e. borderline, narcissistic, OCPD), addiction recovery, and the everyday issues many of us face in life. I have years of expertise in helping sex addicts and betrayed partners whose relationships are in crisis due to infidelity, affairs, pornography and sex addiction.
I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I am also a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS). As a CCPS, I have advanced training in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model, which provides a sound foundation for assisting betrayed partners in their healing process. I work with couples to develop recognition of triggers, learn healthy coping skills, restore sanity and trust in themselves, and explore the next steps for recovery.
I offer consultations to couples to help assess their coupleship needs and guide them toward appropriate next steps or referrals. A consultation session provides access to the Humans Healing in Recovery Group.
I participate in ongoing clinical training, coursework, and conferences from APSATS, IITAP, and SASH, and I work closely with other psychotherapists, Certified Sex Addiction Therapists and APSATS trained therapists.
