About Susan

She aims to build a respectful, warm connection so clients feel understood and heard from the start. Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then offers tools that match each person's needs.

She uses methods like hypnotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address emotions, behaviors, and painful memories.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people set realistic goals and spot patterns that get in the way. She offers strategies for coping with life changes, burnout, attention challenges, and long-term health issues. Work may include skill practice, values-focused action, and brief hypnotherapeutic techniques when helpful.

Dr. Gurvich has worked in hospitals and outpatient settings across a wide range of life challenges. Her career includes extensive experience supporting people dealing with caregiving stress, family-of-origin issues, body image, and end-of-life concerns.

She brings a steady, straightforward style and encourages clients to try approaches that fit their lives. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who prefer to read expressions in a video call can choose that format, while others may opt for phone or messaging for quick check-ins or lower-bandwidth needs.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Dr. Gurvich often uses hypnotherapy to help people access focused relaxation and new perspectives on difficult memories or habits; this can be useful for anxiety, pain, and certain behavior changes. She also practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps even when emotions are hard to change.

She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together with the client she will try different approaches and decide what fits best based on goals and preferences. That can mean mixing mindfulness practice with DBT skills or brief hypnotherapeutic exercises to address a specific issue.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is helpful when reading facial expressions and nonverbal cues matters. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, homework, or when people prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
