Since the late 1960s, I have worked with people and their families exploring what matters to them. When immediate understanding, help and change is needed working together directly, clearly, honestly in a safe, caring way really matters. Whether your concerns involve anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, self discovery you want to feel better and experience life more hopefully as rapidly as possible.
I invite you to explore more general information about me on my website http://drbarbarajsuter.com , or the best way for me to address your specific concerns is to call me directly at 202-363-0034, Washington, DC.
ServicesPeople come before technique. Collaboration is most important.
My first priority is bringing fast relief from your current symptoms of anxiety and depression before moving on to deeper issues involving childhood experiences, traumas and memories. My style is direct, active, and caring, focused on mutually agreed upon goals. I believe that it is important to work emphasizing strengths as well as dealing with problems. I have seen that working within a collaborative partnership with each person yields the best outcomes within the shortest amount of time. Your family is also important in understanding, supporting and helping you.
I believe psychotherapy must create an environment of safety, trust, and hopefulness for people in order for it to work effectively. I like to set up a caring environment that enables people to integrate their minds, bodies, thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors. I always appreciate direct feedback as we progress.
Coming from a psychodynamic background, I try to integrate mind and body through two types of therapy in which I have trained: Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.
