About Susanna Cheatham

I have more than 30 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. I am both honored and humbled that so many people have allowed me to work with them, and from them, I have grown personally and professionally in so many ways. I believe providing care that is sensitive and compassionate, while also working for solutions and/or resolutions that improve happiness and quality of life. I believe counseling is a team effort, but that you, the client, is the most important person on the team. I support client choices and self-determination while using evidence-based practices for best results!
Currently I live with my husband and 5 fur babies, enjoy my two children and four grandchilden, traveling, and my many hobbies!

“Caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. Prioritizes compassion over the clinical. Highly professional while also relatable.”

“I am very thankful for Mrs. Susanna. I have only had 2 sessions with her so far and it has helped me so much. I have been struggling with health anxiety, anxiety in general and some ptsd. I am very confident that as I continue therapy with Mrs. Susanna, that I will be better and learn how to live with these things. I am so thankful for her and better help. I would recommend her to anyone! I love her so much already!!!!”
