Susanna Lewis, LCSW-C
Individual Psychotherapy
About Me
Have you been feeling sad, anxious, or stuck? Therapy can be an effective and lasting way to learn more about yourself, to more intentionally navigate your relationships, to figure out how to untangle the past from the present, and to work through whatever it is that may be contributing to making you feel either not quite like yourself, or like the self you hope to be.
I have experience working with people experiencing a range of difficulties, and specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, complicated family dynamics, and other inter and intrapersonal challenges. I primarily use person-centered, systemic, and psychodynamic therapeutic techniques, but will also tailor my approach to meet your particular needs and perspectives.
I strive to build collaborative and authentic relationships with my clients and aim to create a safe and supportive therapeutic space, so that the work that we do together can be as beneficial and meaningful as possible.
I have over 18 years of clinical, supervisory, and research experience in community mental health, non-profits, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, and university mental health systems. I received my BA from Northwestern University, where I majored in History, and my MSW from The University of Maryland School of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.
I am licensed in both Maryland (#18021) and Washington, DC (#LC200003451) and so can see clients located in either of those locations.
Services
I provide individual therapy to adults aged 18 and older. I welcome people from all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. I am currently seeing clients for telehealth only but hope to have in-person appointments available soon. I am also a certified social worker supervisor, and am available for appointments in that capacity as well. I am based in Baltimore City.
Insurance and Payment Information
I am in network with Cigna (including Wellfleet/Evernorth) and Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurances. I can also provide information about out-of-network care options.
My out-of-pocket rate is $145 per session.
Initial Consultations
I offer free 15 minute initial phone or video consultations. If this is the first time you've sought counseling support and you feel unsure about whether therapy may be helpful to you, I hope that you'll reach out so that I can answer any questions you might have. If you have previously been in therapy and want to learn more about whether we might work well together, I hope to hear from you, also!
