Glen, a Westchester parent
Susan Schrott is a highly effective therapist who combines a supreme command of her craft with a remarkable degree of empathy- both for her clients and their loved ones. My wife and I were referred to Susan as our daughter began dealing with two insidious demons: anorexia and episodic alcoholism (or binge drinking.) The two are related and are driven by a level of anxiety and insecurity that is very difficult to overcome.
Susan nonetheless worked tirelessly to lay bare our daughter's underlying issues and confront them head on. At the same time, she worked directly on my daughter's symptoms and prescribed various methods—some of which required my wife's and my involvement—to successfully do a bit of "neural rewiring."
On two occasions, my daughter required additional therapeutic resources. Each time, Susan came through, both in identifying what would be best for her and facilitating subsequent treatment. I'm pleased to say that my daughter's precipitous decline has been reversed and, while she's not completely out of the woods (I've learned that one rarely is), she has been given the tools to keep her dual dragons at bay and is doing much better.
Susan has been our daughter's primary "tool giver." She has also given my wife and myself an inordinate amount of support during this journey and has always been available to us, even on weekends and late at night. As a therapist and individual, she has well earned our enduring respect and gratitude.
