I work with clients of all ages and genders — from adolescents through adulthood— and both individuals and couples. I continuously seek to expand my knowledge and skills as a social worker and have training and certification in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and have served as a crisis volunteer for The Trevor Project.

I especially enjoy helping clients through identity formation and development, navigating seasons of change, processing complex emotions, and building insight and resilience during challenging times. My work is grounded in a holistic perspective that considers both a person’s internal experience and the broader social and environmental factors impacting their life. We work together to create meaningful growth and lasting change. I know that seeking therapy requires courage, and my goal is to provide an affirming, welcoming space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported.

I work with clients both in-person at our Evanston office and virtually. Contact me at suzanne@casascounseling.com
