Dr. Susan Schaming, LPC

Dr. Susan Schaming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 38 years of experience working across PK-12 schools, mental health settings, universities, and hospitals. She brings a broad clinical background to help people navigate relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, depression and anxiety, coping with life transitions, school-related concerns, and professional or executive coaching needs.

Trained in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies, Dr. Schaming blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered outlook that honors each person as the expert of their own life story. She focuses on identifying strengths and practical strategies that support change, while also offering empathy and attentive listening when clients face grief, emptiness, or depression.

Clients often leave the first session with specific steps or manageable homework designed to begin momentum toward the life they want. Dr. Schaming values collaboration and tailors her approach to each individual, addressing issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment concerns, substance and eating-related problems, and separation or divorce.

Having engaged in therapy herself at different points in life, she views counseling as a pathway to better living and is comfortable scheduling early evening and occasional weekend appointments when needed. Dr. Schaming is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and offers care grounded in decades of clinical experience.
