Susan Rood, LMSW

Hello,

I am excited to be providing therapy in Allegan. I had been providing care in this community for years before leaving for a brief time. Having this opportunity to be back where I belong is wonderful. If you are a returning client or someone new my door is open.

Everyone struggles with life’s hardships at times. I can appreciate how hard it can be to start the therapy process. I would like to develop a place of safety, connectedness, and encouragement for you to come during those times. It is my wish that we work together in developing goals that are important to you. We will work as a team to create a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and compassion to help walk you through your life journey.

Throughout my career, I have provided a wide range of therapy and support to children and adults. My recent focus has been on the trauma impact related to abuse, neglect, foster care placements, and adoption. However, I have worked with adults and children who have experienced a wide variety of life traumas. I have worked extensively with women during their pregnancies and through the transition into motherhood. In an outpatient setting, I have provided care for people who have struggled with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, and trauma. I am passionate about working with adults and children 13 years and older.
