Dr. Susanne Babbel moved from her native land of Germany to the U.S. almost twenty years ago. From an early age, she has been honored with the trust of others and their stories. She¹s an avid listener noted for her empathy and intuition. Her own personal development led her to become a psychologist with an emphasis on trauma and depression. Susanne gained her masters degree in psychology from John F. Kennedy University and later studied mind body therapy and psychology at the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. She is a member of CAMFT, SFCAMFT, and USABP. She currently writes regular articles about trauma and depression for Psychology Today's web site and Women¹s Radio Network, as well as her own blog on trauma and depression: Growing Beyond Trauma.
