Susan Warren Warshow specializes in an accelerated, highly
effective emotion and somatic-focused, dynamic psychotherapy.
Clients appreciate that
depth work
can be accomplished in a shortened period of time,
thereby making it cost
effective. An extensive background of training
and experience enables Ms. Warshow to customize therapy for the
individual in
a
highly personalized way.
Her approach
is focused, actively engaged, caring and empathic.
The act of opening oneself to another takes consummate
courage, and Ms. Warshow considers it a privilege to serve those
who entrust her with their most personal concerns.
Clients may suffer with relationship struggles, unrelenting
anxiety and depression, fractured families, failed jobs,
unrealized potential, uncontrolled anger, overeating, addictive
patterns, and ailments with a psychosomatic base, such as
migraine headaches and gastro-intestinal disorders. Emotional
suffering that goes unresolved impoverishes one's life
unnecessarily.
Tracking the
pathway of emotions and their accompanying physiological
sensations, within a secure therapeutic relationship, often
result in profound behavioral and psychological change.
Emotions are encoded with great intelligence and can lead to
deeply felt insight. When emotions are bypassed, dismissed or
superficially experienced, people sometimes feel like rudderless
ships that are adrift. The capacity to stay emotionally
connected both to oneself and to significant others is vital to
optimal functioning.
Overcoming one’s fears of intimacy and judgments of forbidden
feelings is the true meaning of being at peace with oneself.
Many have found Experiential Dynamic Therapy to be
profoundly
transformational (see “Client
Comments”). One's personal narrative begins to
make sense and becomes coherent.
Greater
choice, clarity, and self-direction emerge, as
well as the capacity for secure attachment with significant
others.
Parents no longer need to pass
on maladaptive patterns to their children. It becomes
possible to no longer be
victimized by dysfunctional family,
friendship and workplace relationships. In follow-up
interviews, clients state that
benefits are
long lasting and deeply satisfying.

“Your
face comes to mind often when I am in one of my moods where
I’m being unkind to myself and a voice comes up that says, 'be
gentle with yourself. Be kind to this magnificent woman.'
I see your eyes and I see the compassion that comes from them
and I 'remember' to be present and real in my gentleness, to
stop the self-hatred and stop the sabotaging personality from
making me miserable.”

“Our session last week was so great. As always, the power of
this work or the way you do this work is amazing and I'm in
awe of it in every session.”
Client Comment |
"Susan, my time
spent with you in our sessions was very valuable. The work we
did was much more on a cellular level than I have ever
experienced in therapy. Processing my anger has been very
liberating and not only did you give me permission to feel it,
you led me through some really deep stuff."
Client Comment |
"I felt
really empowered by (the therapy) and I continue to feel that
way. I’m taking the things that make me the most uncomfortable
and I’m going for them. I don’t want to feel lousy anymore. I
don’t want to ever feel depressed. I feel like this is
definitely helping me to take charge of my life and that’s my
theme and my resolution for this New Year… to empower myself
as much as possible. I know that’s the key to feeling good.
Thank you for everything."
Client Comment |
“I feel like I've
come out of this cloud bank, of doubt. And you're so thankful,
so profoundly thankful... for finding your depth. For finding
that you're not a failure. And that you're capable. And that
you are a good person.
It's just a powerful time. In that you just love
yourself.”

“I am thankful
for our time together…it was a rich time of introspection,
discovery and healing.”
