About me

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. My graduate degree is from Adelphi University and I have many years of experience practicing in community based settings, schools and day programs where I have trained other social workers and provided counseling for individuals, groups and families.
I use a combination of modalities while providing the utmost support for you to gain the tools and confidence to explore the options that suit you in order to make positive life changes. My style is warm and conversational.
My areas of specialization include family and partner relationships, parenting, life changes and transitions including divorce, college, change in finances. I am also able to provide coaching for those with anxiety, employment/career challenges, and issues related to alcohol and drugs.
I am flexible in meeting the needs of your busy schedule in whatever type of communication meets your needs.
So let's get started!
I look forward to meeting you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Banco. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have only had a few sessions with her but I have already felt a difference. She offers some tough love but in a professional personal matter that has been making me feel like she genuinely cares. Will be scheduling with Susan weekly!!

Susan is the absolute best and has truly helped me over the last several months

Written on Nov 07, 2023 after therapy with Susan for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self esteem, and anger management

Susan has been such a tremendous help to me. She is getting me through the toughest moments of my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She sheds light on my situation and helps me frame it in a way that I can see the truth instead of getting caught up in confusion and feeling overwhelmed.
