Susan Gartenberg
M.Ed, LPC-S, RPT-S
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), and a Certified School Counselor. I work with children and families using a child-centered, collaborative approach that honors each child’s unique strengths, voice, and pace.
My role is to create a safe, supportive space where children feel understood and empowered, and where parents and caregivers feel included and respected as part of the process.
Collaboration is at the heart of my work. I value strong partnerships with families, schools, and other professionals, and I focus on insights and practical strategies that support emotional growth, resilience, and confidence, both in and out of the counseling setting.
Under the umbrella of Play Therapy I have additional training in the following:
