Susan Wildemann, LCSW

Susan Wildemann is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York with 33 years of experience. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She also helps people facing relationship strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues after trauma.

Susan trained in social work at Boston University and has spent decades seeing people with a wide range of needs. Her background includes work with people who have intellectual disabilities and with those managing long-term health challenges. She brings long-term clinical experience to everyday problems like sleep disruption and workplace tension.

Her sessions are interactive and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help ground strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Susan also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and identify small steps that make a difference. Trauma-focused methods are included when past hurt affects daily life.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversations about coping, communication, and managing stress. The focus is on skills you can use between sessions and clearer ways of handling anger, relationship conflict, or major life changes.
