Suzanne Degges-White

Dr. Suzanne Degges-White is a licensed counselor with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. She provides counseling and life coaching to individuals, couples, and families. She has worked with clients facing a variety of challenges from past trauma and abuse, to expected and unexpected transitions in life. These areas include working through anxiety, depression, grief, sexual identity development, career transitions, parenting of young children and adult children, and family relationships. She also has expertise in helping individuals manage friendships over the lifespan.

Suzanne’s basic theoretical belief is that people are capable of change and that they can learn to make choices that enhance overall wellness and personal development. She recognizes that change can be difficult and painful for clients as they grow and develop in new, more efficacious ways. In her counseling and consulting work, Suzanne employs a variety of therapeutic techniques to encourage clients to take new perspectives and engage in new behaviors that will help them better manage the challenges they face. Using a humanistic framework, and depending on the nature of the concern, she may use techniques from cognitive and behavioral theory, existential counseling, choice theory, and feminist theory.
