Susan Ramsey-French, LCSW
About me
Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 6 years of professional work experience. I received my Master in Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-harm & anger management. I am an EMDR trained therapist and utilize it in most of my practice, along with mindfulness, I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for those who cannot tolerate EMDR. I believe in client centered strategies, meaning we build off of what you are already doing and have done in the past that works well. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. You are the author of your story and are inviting me in and sharing your story with me and I honor that. I like to use a collaborative approach and believe in feedback and honest communication along the way. You are not alone. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Susan has been a blessing! She's thorough and has helped me sort through my closet of emotions. We have been working with EDMR to reset my frame of mind so I have a more confident and positive view of myself, allowing me to give myself grace when facing all of life's challenges. Susan has made a profound impact on me and I will be forever grateful for her.

Susan is super friendly, and communicative. Gives me options on what I want to try for treatment and regularly checks on how effective it is so we can readjust if need be.

She's lovely. She's not dealt with someone like me before but she's doing the research necessary to help and she's been great with helping my anxiety. I'd recommend her to anyone having trouble.

First session was great and I look forward to my next. She listens, wants to get to the root, and provides other helpful materials. God puts certain people in our paths for a reason.

Susan has been a fantastic listener, and jumping in with her thoughts and expertise at just the right times! I've only had two visits with her, and believe my next one will be my last one. I feel confident that she has said exactly what I need to hear to move forward and not need these sessions anymore!
