SusanSusan Shrifter-Fialkow, MA, LCSW


I’ve been helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a wide range of presenting problems for over 25 years. If you are being held back from living the life you want, I may be able to help you move forward. It takes courage to try something new, but many people view being involved in therapy as one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.
