Susan Stone, MSW, LCSW

It can be daunting reading through these listings trying to decide who can best help you through a life crisis. You need an able, empathic, well-trained and experienced guide who can clarify the issues and goals needed for healing to maximize your fulfillment, joy, and inner peace.

My practice in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, specializes in women's issues and reproductive mental health. This includes antepartum and postpartum depression, miscarriage, stillbirth, menopause, sexual or birth trauma, infertility and adoption issues. I also focus on issues women face across the life cycle such as relationship, (divorce, death or separation) parenting, (empty nest, adolescent or childcare issues) health (cancer and other illnesses) and aging including loss and caring for an elderly relative.  I treat clinical conditions including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, trauma and bereavement - including grief related to animal companion loss.

I am an award winning clinician, a nationally known speaker, author, educator and women's mental health expert. I am the former President of Postpartum Support International, an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Silver School of Social Work New York University and a former public reviewer for the National Institute of Mental Health. As a strong advocate for evidence based practices my treatment modalities are psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, IPT and EMDR. Visit my website at www.susandowdstone.com
