Nice to Meet You!
​My name is Susan Blayer and I am an out-of-network psychotherapist and spiritual counselor, licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut.
​​
I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University, and a Master’s of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary.
​
Currently, I am a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) Candidate with the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals.
​
I also hold Creative Art Therapies Certification from The New School for Social Research and Prepare/Enrich Certification for deeper work within romantic relationships.
Please check out my FREE guided meditations and informational talks featured on Insight Timer​.
​
I am grateful to have had a career that has spanned several decades, providing mental health services to children, teens, families, individuals, and couples with a broad range of psycho-social needs.
My experience includes facilitating groups, creating and conducting prevention and intervention workshops, presentations and webinars, covering myriad mental-emotional health concerns for diverse populations.
I have served as Clinical Supervisor, in both non-profit settings, and currently, privately for clinicians newer to the field.
​​
My therapeutic approach emphasizes psychoeducation, insight-oriented modalities and skills-building. I am well-versed in CBT/DBT, Behavioral Activation and nervous-system regulating tools, such as embodied grounding, vagus nerve stimulation, restorative breathing/yoga (pranayama), prayer, and guided meditations.
