"During our weekly meetings, Suzanne and I discussed the way I was feeling, but also potential reasons for why I was experiencing those feelings. Not having seen a therapist before, I didn't — and don't — have anything to compare her methods to, but there was never pressure or judgement. Just listening and thoughtful questions. With the tools and guidance she provided, I was able to overcome my obstacles and begin to thrive...I am enormously grateful to Suzanne for assisting me as I learned to accept myself more and judge myself less, identify a path to contentment for myself and with my husband. "~ S.T., White Plains, NY
"My husband and I were feeling fatigued and desperate after having spent money, time, and energy with two marriage counselors who couldn't help us. When we met with Dr. Burger in marriage therapy, hope was restored. She deepened our understanding of one another's wounds and needs and equipped us with the skills we needed. She brought careful listening, compassion, expertise, and keen insight as well as a command of various approaches to the different issues at play in our relationship. We are very grateful to her for her counsel and guidance. "
~ A couple from Fairfield County, CT
"I feel extremely fortunate to have come under the care of Suzanne Burger. She is insightful, attentive, caring and intentional in her treatment. I appreciated her candor and her patience. I strongly recommend her as a therapist."
~ T.B., Scarsdale, NY
"Suzanne...is a very warm and engaging therapist with an excellent sense of making you feel comfortable, reading your body language and extracting delicate information all while asking all the right questions. She was great at getting my wife and me to engage in topics we seldom spoke about and got us on the right track. She also recommends well chosen reading topics for us at home and exercises that were really positive at improving our communication. I highly recommend her!." ~ M.L., Pound Ridge, NY
“My husband and I had tried multiple options to help our marriage with limited success, in the face of what seemed like insurmountable problems. Happily, we found Suzanne. She is not a therapist who just lets you ramble for an hour while charging big bucks. She sets clear goals and works with you to achieve those goals in a structured methodology. We have been complete with therapy for 6 months now, have had several big life stressors during that time, and we're still going strong. Equally as valuable as the skills and healing we achieved is the knowledge that yes, this marriage can work, and if we get stuck, there's a way out of the stuck zone that doesn't involve tearing apart our family. So grateful for her. Well worth the price, the time, and the effort.” ~EJS, New Rochelle, NY
"Suzanne gave my husband and me a new lease on life when other therapists failed us. We no longer fight constantly, and I feel so much better. It was challenging work, but so worth it. I cannot recommend her enough." -CW, Bronx
"Suzanne Burger is an excellent choice as a speaker or as an individual selected to organize workshops for families and healthcare professionals. her depth of knowledge about the impact of illness on the family is extraordinary as she has both professional and personal experience with the ability to engage her audience. it is this ability - to engage, to interact, to reach out with tenderness that enhances her ability to teach. I recommend her as an outstanding speaker."
~ Pat Furlong, President of PPMD, Cincinnati, OH
"I've worked with Suzanne Burger in a variety of settings and have found her to be a skillful and sensitive group leader and knowledgeable teacher. On a person-to-person basis she is warm, compassionate and wise. The strongest statement I can make about her work is that I have referred people I care about to her. I trust her."
