Susan P. Epstein, LCSW, Parent Life Coach
Education and Training. I graduated from Clark University in Worcester, MA in 1980, where I earned a B.A. degree in Sociology and Spanish with a minor in Psychology. I worked for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children until I moved to California in 1984, where I pursued my M.S.W. from the University of California at Berkeley School of Social Welfare. I am a certified (BSFT) Brief Strategic Family Therapist and trained with Olga Hervis, PhD at the Family Therapy Institute, at the University of Miami. I completed training in 2003 with the internationally accredited Coaches Training Institute. I am bilingual in English/Spanish, which has enabled me to work with different cultures throughout my career.

Related Helping Experience. I worked and consulted at the Child & Family Agency of Southeastern, Connecticut, the Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, the Old Lyme Youth Service Bureau, Pfizer Global Research & Development, and United Behavioral Health, and Community Solutions Inc. (providing in-home services for families of court mandated juveniles.) I have served as an expert consultant for a Social Policy Research firm in New York City.
I volunteer for the The Cove of Southeastern, CT; The Cove is a safe place for kids to come together with other grieving kids and their families to share their stories and their feelings with others.
Philosophy and Style. I believe that all families are capable of helping themselves by tapping into their own strengths, creativity, and resources. I am highly attuned to family process and interaction and have the expertise to point out the origins of your stress and frustration.
My unique blend of therapy and coaching combine to make me a powerful catalyst for change when working with parents. Through thoughtful and sensitive exploration and perspective, my clients learn to trust their intuition, confront their fears, plan effectively, and step into their families and out into the world to claim their lives and dreams.
