Suzonne Whedbee is an individual, couple, and family therapist with experience helping people find solutions to a wide array of presenting problems.

Suzonne Whedbee specialize in working with: Teenagers and Adults struggling with self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, loss of hope, Couple and family/relationship issues dealing with family stressors, blended families, and parenting/co-parenting issues. She has worked extensively with families with child and adolescent problems. She believes the most effective and efficient way to help a person is to involve other members of their family so that the family reinforces any program of change.

She is a Florida DCF Approved Provider (Florida Family Court requires divorcing/separating couples with minor children to complete a DCF approved parenting class before finalizing their divorce).

At Family Solutions Counseling, her practice is faith-based. Her faith and life experiences are why she chose to become a Counselor.

She also approaches client concerns from a Solution-focused perspective. We all possess strengths and resources that can be used to attain personal growth and overcome life's challenges. Each person is doing the best they can considering the context they live in and the relationships that exist in their lives.

Her job is not to judge but to build a level of trust, provide support, encourage the client to feel safe in expressing symptoms, and help find solutions.
