About Susan Banco

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. My graduate degree is from Adelphi University and I have many years of experience practicing in community based settings, schools and day programs where I have trained other social workers and provided counseling for individuals, groups and families.
I use a combination of modalities while providing the utmost support for you to gain the tools and confidence to explore the options that suit you in order to make positive life changes. My style is warm and conversational.
My areas of specialization include family and partner relationships, parenting, life changes and transitions including divorce, college, change in finances. I am also able to provide coaching for those with anxiety, employment/career challenges, and issues related to alcohol and drugs.
I am flexible in meeting the needs of your busy schedule in whatever type of communication meets your needs.
So let’s get started!
I look forward to meeting you.

“Working with Susan was genuinely meaningful and grounding. She has a warm, steady presence and a way of helping you think more clearly and compassionately about yourself without ever feeling pressured or judged. I always left our sessions feeling more understood, more self-aware, and more capable of navigating what I was going through.<br /> <br /> Her insights have really stayed with me — in the best way — and I find myself recalling things she said long after our sessions ended. I’m grateful for the time we worked together and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attuned, and deeply caring therapist.”
