My name is Susan Delaune. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice at Goodwood Counseling.  I have appointments available during the week day, evening and weekend.

In my twenty-five years of social work experience, the challenges I have dealt with have been rewarding and educational. My jobs have ranged from medical social work with AIDS, cancer, burn and emergency room patients to children and families in both school and outpatient mental health settings.  Working with adults and families struggling with illness, grief, stress, relationships, parenting, anxiety and depression have brought me to a place of understanding and empathy.

The human spirit is amazingly resilient and capable of overcoming incredible obstacles!  There are times in life when we can use help coping with such obstacles.  Dr. Brene' Brown says "Courage starts with showing up!"  Whether it is addressing anxiety or depression as you work through a crisis, managing a stressful relationship, wanting to be a better parent, coping with a chronic illness, or adjusting to a major life change, the counseling process can guide you to wellness and peace of mind.

In a safe, nonjudgmental environment, we will discuss your concerns and focus on your strengths. Then, using behavioral and cognitive therapies, I will work with you to discern options in order to come to a meaningful resolution.  Together we will set realistic goals specific to those options until you feel a new sense of peace and well-being.
