Suzy Santos(She/Her/Hers)

Suzy Santos is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor located in Pleasant Grove, UT. Many of Suzy’s clients feel negative impacts on their mental health because of ADHD, anxiety, or body image issues. They feel disconnected from their loved ones and, at times, become frustrated or overwhelmed by their emotions. Their stress levels can lead to emotions like hopelessness or even loneliness. These individuals turn to therapy as a way to better understand what’s happening internally for them and to find strategies to cope with their distress. 

Suzy’s approach to therapy centers around the client, valuing their experiences and their desires for treatment. Suzy practices several therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. From these sessions, clients learn how to manage their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to improved coping when they encounter feelings of stress. From her previous experience working with children, she brings elements of play therapy into her sessions, which can open conversations about feelings, emotions, and needs. Her versatile and empathetic approach leads to improved daily function and deeper knowledge about mental health. 

Suzy holds dual Master’s degrees and is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist. She previously worked in the school setting, where she found her passion in helping teenagers. Since then, she’s gained experience working with clients of all ages. She sees strength in every one of her clients, and she encourages clients to internalize that strength while leveraging it to progress towards their mental health goals.
