About

The Care You Can Trust

Hi, I’m Suzanne Drake, PhD, APN-C, a Licensed, Board-Certified Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse. I’ve spent decades partnering with adults, families, and couples to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—and to help people move toward meaningful, lasting change. I offer individual, family, and couples psychotherapy, along with thoughtful evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, and complex emotional and relational concerns. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and shaped to fit each person’s unique life, goals, and strengths. My practice grew from a belief that genuine healing starts with being heard and understood. Nursing has been named the most trusted profession for over two decades, and I strive to bring that same compassion, integrity, and clinical rigor into every therapeutic relationship.
