Dr Suzanne F Bates, PhD

Suzanne is a highly-skilled Clinical Psychologist who focuses on translating your values into clear, manageable steps during each session. Suzanne offers services online and in-person in Chapel Hill, NC and Ann Arbor, MI. Suzanne works with adolescents and adults who want to address anxiety, mood difficulties, body-image and/or eating concerns and life transitions who want to achieve actionable, sustainable progress with a support therapist. Suzanne brings warmth and humor to relationships with clients. She creates some structure within sessions where we set a brief agenda, discuss current and ongoing concerns, examine patterns, build skills and set goals for between sessions. Suzanne works with clients to set up short between-session experiences to help bring about and to consolidate change. Sessions move at a comfortable, natural pace.
