Suzanne Lieuwen, LMSW, RPT

I help individuals and families create real, lasting change. Through family therapy, I guide parents and children to break stuck patterns, improve communication, and strengthen connections. With adults, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to process emotions, heal from past hurts, and build more satisfying relationships. I bring years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and specialized training in Emotion Focused Therapy, Theraplay, Synergetic Play Therapy, and parent coaching through Robyn Gobbel’s Big Baffling Behavior Institute. My approach is informed by interpersonal neurobiology and understanding the nervous system, so clients feel supported both emotionally and physically as they work through challenges. I’m a mom to three teenagers and a foster parent to many refugee children. I’m endlessly curious about human behavior, love reading for new insights, and am a cancer survivor committed to living fully each day.
