Susanna Cheatham

Susanna Cheatham is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 30 years of clinical experience in Alabama. She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and brings steady, practical support to concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions. Her practice also addresses family and parenting difficulties, career challenges, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

She emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach and supports self-determination while integrating evidence-based methods. Susanna names cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, existential reflection, and motivational interviewing among the frameworks she uses to help clients pursue clearer goals and workable changes. Susanna describes counseling as a team effort in which the client is the most important member of the team.

Outside of practice she lives in Alabama with her husband and five fur babies and values time with her two children and four grandchildren. She also enjoys traveling and a range of personal hobbies, which she says enrich her perspective as a clinician.
