Susan Beck Case

Susan Beck Case brings more than 30 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Missouri. Over her career she has connected with people across a wide age range - from three year olds to those aged 103 - and is motivated to make a positive difference during the time she is given in this world.

She advises prospective clients to advocate for themselves when choosing a therapist and to invest in their own well-being by selecting someone with whom they genuinely feel comfortable. When therapy does not meet expectations, clients sometimes hesitate to request an alternative and may discontinue treatment with needs unmet.

Susan believes the therapeutic connection is central to effective work and considers it her responsibility to build a healthy relationship grounded in trust and nonjudgmental acceptance. She understands that therapy can be challenging and regards a client’s willingness to share painful history as a gift she does not accept lightly.

She honors each person’s journey and recognizes the vulnerability involved in opening past chapters of one’s story to someone who begins as a stranger. The specific names of therapeutic approaches are less important to her than responding skillfully and compassionately to what a person is currently managing. She holds a Missouri clinical social work license (MO LCSW 004179), a credential that reflects her professional qualifications and state licensure, and she would be grateful for the opportunity to join a client’s story.
