Susan Truland
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·LCSW, ACSWAbout
I am Susan Truland, LCSW, owner and clinical director of Ocean Counseling & Family Center in Forked River, New Jersey. I provide professional, evidence-based psychotherapy to teens, adults, couples, families and therapy groups in a supportive and confidential setting. I work with anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, addiction, codependency and relationship and family conflict. My approach is collaborative and individualized helping clients build emotional regulation, practical coping skills and healthier relationships often through the use of CBT and DBT. I am committed to ethical practice, clinical integrity and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we can make long-lasting, meaningful changes. **Specialties:** I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families who are feeling overwhelmed by struggles like anxiety, mood shifts, relationship stress or long-standing family patterns. Together we make space for clarity, confidence and happier connections.
"I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
