Psychotherapist
Susan Tuttle Owen is a psychotherapist in White Plains, New York, specializing in therapy for children, teens, and adults in Westchester County. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University, an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Cornell University. Susan specializes in ADHD therapy, support for learning differences, emotional dysregulation, executive function challenges, anxiety, depression, and education and career transitions. Before becoming a therapist, she worked as an investment banker, and she draws on that experience to provide grounded, practical support for clients navigating academic and professional change.
My Approach
Susan's approach to therapy in White Plains is positive, encouraging, warm, and supportive. She listens with curiosity and an open mind, guided by a genuine interest in understanding each client rather than judging them. When working with children and adolescents, Susan collaborates with both the young person and their caregiver to support growth within the context of the family's values, culture, and goals. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, she builds personalized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each individual and family seeking therapy in Westchester County.
What To Expect
Susan brings enthusiasm, hope, patience, compassion, and humor to every session at her White Plains therapy office. With children, she incorporates play therapy techniques and interactive approaches, recognizing that connection and skill building happen most naturally when kids are actively engaged. With teens and adults, she takes time to understand how each client's interests, experiences, and relationships have shaped who they are. Susan believes that identifying what is already working in a client's life is just as important as addressing what feels difficult, using a strengths based approach to help clients reach the goals that matter most to them.
