My name is Dr. Suzette Crayton Gutter and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Louisiana providing telehealth services to clients. I work with adolescents and adults who experience behavioral health issues, such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, grief/loss, self-esteem issues, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, and relationship problems. I focus on clients' strengths as a foundation to help improve overall wellbeing. My approach to therapy is client centered. However, I most often use cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and psychoeducation. I assist clients in addressing unhelpful thought patterns, work through past trauma, and learn effective ways to cope with difficult situations. My journey as a therapist started when I was a teen learning how to handle ups and downs in life. I wanted to help others learn how to do the same. Believing that my purpose is to help others heal emotionally is what drives me to this work. My communication style is relaxed. I promote an environment where clients feel comfortable sharing.
