Susan Hammond, LCSW-R

Susan Hammond is a New York LCSW-R with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, career concerns, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes.

She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance. That means she treats the person as the expert on their own life and listens first. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and body sensations so they can respond rather than react when anger or anxiety arises.

In sessions she talks through specific patterns that feed anger and resentment. She helps people name triggers, practice grounding and breathing skills, and try small behavioral changes between meetings. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use at home and at work.

Susan also explores family of origin issues and feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation that often sit under anger. She makes space for grief and life-purpose conversations alongside mood and relationship work. The goal is to reduce reactivity and increase steady control over impulses without promising quick fixes.

Her long experience includes work with mood disorders and women's issues. People seeking to manage temper, reduce workplace frustration, or handle another person’s anger may find a clear, steady approach that emphasizes awareness and concrete skills.
