Welcome to Suzanne Connolly's website. Please read our disclaimer .

I have been in private practice in Sedona, AZ since 1987 and offer psychotherapy services for a wide variety of issues. I am Licensed in Arizona as a Clinical Social Worker, a Marriage and Family Therapist and, an Independent Substance Abuse Counselor. Additionally, I am certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists as a Diplomat of Sex Therapy.

One thing that clients say that has been helpful to them is that I have a non-pathological approach to problems, seeing them as opportunities to grow. In couple therapy, and in individual therapy, I help clients address underlying emotional issues that get in the way of their positive experiences. I also incorporate Complimentary Alternative Mental Health modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) into my traditional psychotherapy practice when, in my professional opinion, I can see that these more alternative techniques could be helpful to an individual, couple or family.

Most clients find quick and relief from their problems in a relatively short period of time using a combination of traditional techniques and complimentary alternative techniques as needed.

I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD, whatever the source of the trauma. I have been invited to work numerous times in various countries around the world to teach TFT as a trauma intervention. Two of my articles on using TFT to treat trauma post- genocide in Rwanda have been published in the peer reviewed journal, International Journal of Emergency Mental Health. Another is being prepared for publication.
In my private life, I have been married for over 50 years and am the mother of six children and fourteen grandchildren. I am a charter member of the Holocaust Memorial Museum and was active in the Southern Poverty Law Center for many years. For more information on my professional career please see my resume.
