TRAIN WITH SUZETTE
I help people wrangle their emotions—and teach therapists, counselors, and other helping professionals how to do the same for their clients. My mission? To make sure the skills you learn in training aren’t just theoretical but actually useful the very next day.
Let’s be real: training doesn’t have to be boring or overwhelming. Yes, we can make it engaging, practical, and—dare I say—fun! If you’re tired of sitting through workshops that leave you wondering, But how do I use this in session tomorrow? then you’re in the right place. I’ve been there too—leaving training sessions with a stack of notes that seem great in theory but wind up gathering dust on a shelf because they just don’t fit into the day-to-day demands of real-world practice.
I’m all about evidence-based approaches like DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and I know they can feel like a mountain to climb. That’s why I break them down into bite-sized, digestible pieces. My trainings are packed with ready-to-use toolkits, handouts, cheat sheets, and practical strategies you can start using immediately with your clients.
Whether you’re a therapist, case manager, school counselor, or peer support worker, you’ll leave with a concrete plan for what’s next—no more post-training paralysis. And you’ll actually be excited to put these tools to use the very next day.
Pop into my mailing list to stay updated on upcoming training opportunities! I also love to send out freebies, guides, and handy tools—because sharing is caring, right?
