I am a holistic practitioner of psychodynamic and somatic psychology who strives to help people gain confidence, fulfillment and joy in their daily lives. I offer a safe and collaborative space for my clients to discover their inner strength and connect to their own amazing spirits. The very symptoms for which we seek treatment have served some purposes, and together we shall discover the gifts therein. The empowerment gained from these insights create a rippling effect which can transcend every aspect of one’s lives.
I have extensive knowledge in addictive disorders. I am familiar with all the resources and able to help implement new ways of living without the substances and behaviors that have become problematic. I would love to talk to you about your struggles, your partner's or child's issues with addiction and how these are impacting you and your wellbeing.
I am originally from Germany and have travelled and lived in many countries. I love being a social worker, because it is person centered and I am intreated by people's diversity. This speaks to my multi facetted interests and eclectic nature. I keep informed of the latest research on interventions and treatment approaches while always keeping in mind that you are an individual with your own story and experiences. My goal is to always meet you where you are at, to listen deeply and compassionately, and to celebrate all your achievements.
I have worked in inpatient and out patient substance use disorder facilities, in public mental health agencies, at the hospital in inpatient mental health and at the neonatal intensive care unit. I supervise associate social worker and substance use specialists.

Susanne Loar is an AMAZING therapist. She makes you feel like you are a part of her family and that you have known her for years. She truly listens and gives amazing advice. Each week when our session comes to an end, I feel so recharged and ready to face the week. I’ve have tried MANY therapists throughout the years and Susanne is by far the best!!!!

I have had two sessions with Susanne Loar, and I find myself looking forward to our appointments. She is easy to talk to and has been since our first encounter. She shares resources with me that she thinks will be helpful, and I have found them useful. I'm new to online therapy and was apprehensive initially, but I am now comfortable with our sessions, and I look forward to continuing with Susanne.

I've been working with Susanne for over a year and she has been such a tremendous help. I have gone through the most stressful time of my life while being a client of hers and cannot say enough good things about her ability to listen and help. I've enjoyed our sessions and will continue to work with her for as long as she will have me!

I’ve had my fair share of therapist and Dr. Loar by far is the best! She understands the concerns that I have and helps guide me though experiences and things I am currently dealing with! She is an expert at what she does and all around is a genuine person who goes above and beyond in her position. If everyone could spend 30 minutes with Dr. Loar today, the world would be a better place tomorrow!!

I am a person coiled like a tight spring. I have been physically and sexually abused. I don't talk about it to others besides my best friend, because,why I don't know, I often receive unkind remarks....I grew up in poverty, a white minority, beaten relentlessly, orphaned, raised in foster care. I'm always the happy helper,but I realize I don't love myself. I became quite accomplished through college merit scholarships, received many accolades. But who is Kathleen? Never any time to look. Susanne is gentle but will ask questions...and I'll answer anything. I find her gentle, kind approach like a snuggly blanket
