About Susan Marie York

Susan Marie York, LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma-focused therapy for adults with more than three decades of clinical experience. I have extensive training in a variety of general and trauma therapies, including Trauma Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment-based Therapy, and more.

My work is centered on helping you heal from the effects of trauma, chronic stress, attachment wounds, and other painful relational experiences through thoughtful, individualized, and evidence-based care.

Over my more than three decades of clinical practice, I have worked with numerous clients experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, dissociation, burnout, anxiety, and the long-term impact of emotionally invalidating or high-control environments. I understand that trauma affects not only emotions and relationships, but also the nervous system, sense of self, and ability to feel safe, connected, and fully present in daily life.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, respectful, and deeply human. My role is not simply to provide techniques, but to create a space for you in which healing, insight, and meaningful change can unfold at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I often use EMDR, but also incorporate techniques from the wide variety of therapies I am trained in, depending on your needs. Through this work, I aim to support you in moving toward greater emotional clarity, resilience, stability, self-trust, and well-being.
