Biography: Hello! I commend you in taking the first step in addressing your concerns by reaching out to a therapist - I know it can be scary, but you are ready if you are reaching out to BetterHelp to find one. My name is Suzanne (Sue) Towne and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both TN and FL. Finding a therapist who you can build a trusting relationship with is of utmost importance - I hope I can be that person for you. Let me share some information about me and my career background. I have worked in the mental health field since 1976 both as a psychiatric RN and then a therapist. My experience has been diverse, including inpatient psychiatric settings working with individuals suffering from eating disorders, chemical dependency, diverse childhood & intensive adult psychiatric disorders as well as a community mental health setting assisting individuals, couples, groups and children and foster parents living in the therapeutic foster care system. I believe each individual has within them the solutions to their problems/concerns, they just require some guidance to find the path to their well-being. I use a variety of techniques depending on what you are comfortable with to assist you in achieving your goals.

I find the most effective methods of communication to provide therapy sessions are via live video or phone chat. I do NOT do live chat as a method to do sessions as I do not find this effective as a means to engage and connect in a therapy session. I know it is difficult to trust a stranger, but hopefully we can build a relationship of trust. I would be honored to work with you to find the solutions to the life changes you desire to achieve.

Biography: Yes, family therapists work with individuals. In fact, most of the work I have done has been with individuals. It helps to hear "family therapy" as "systemic therapy." Systemic therapists focus on how "big picture" factors (family, work, society) influence us and, thus, how we have to cope with them. My training has been both academic and from "the school of hard knocks." In 2005, at age 40, I completed my PhD in child at family studies with an emphasis in counseling at the University Tennessee. I was taking a heavy course load, working two part-time jobs, and raising two young children. I consider my time as client at the student counseling center the most important part of my training. I completed my family therapy training at Good Shepherd Counseling Center under one of the earliest family therapists in Tennessee. I started by training as an undergraduate psychology major (and creative writing minor) at Carson-Newman University. I then went to seminary where I majored in pastoral counseling and worked as an aide at internationally known Norton Psychiatric Clinic. People describe me as down to earth. I grew up the son of teachers and grandson of farmers. I have baled hay, fed cattle, and spent a summer pulling steel from a 1500-degree furnace and driving a fork lift. I also was captain of my high school soccer team. If I'm not working, I'm riding my bike, watching a movie, reading a book, playing scrabble, hiking, canoeing, or refinishing furniture.

I practice primarily cognitive behavioral therapy. I focus on trying to teach people that we need to think and act better first in order to feel better. I have experience working in crisis and crisis supervision. I have worked with clients as young as 5 and as old as in their 80's. I have seen a lot of different things over the years and the most important thing to me as a therapist is to meet clients where they are at and to have a positive working relationship with them to help them get to where they are going. It is often difficult to begin the journey of therapy and I am glad you are considering it. Most people come to therapy hoping to try and fix something in their life that does not seem to be working so well. I will work with you to try and discover what all is going on and how we can work together to help you be the best self you can be. I believe in focusing on building small, easy to learn coping skills and taking consistent baby steps towards your goals. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

Care Philosophy: Sometimes, it seems there isn't anyone to call. No friend can articulate a plausible explanation, alternative, or direction for what you are experiencing. The loneliness you feel on the inside, no matter how many people are around you daily, leads you to feel isolated even when you are a part of the crowd. Even when you do try to express, it is difficult for you to open up as the depths of your distress make you consider and reconsider how much you should share. You feel like you cannot come up with the answer and you're tired. All you desire is perspective and progress. All you want is to feel adequate, competent, and accomplished.??
