My name is Susan Dischert, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in Bloomington, IL.
Family is everything to me—my wonderful husband Jim, three amazing kids Kenna, Tyler, and Ben, and our beautiful dog Mazie keep me focused on what truly matters. I love being outside (when it’s warm!), taking long walks, challenging hikes, and playing pickleball.
I earned my MSW in Social Work from the University of Illinois and my BSW from Illinois State University. With over 25 years of experience as a school social worker, I specialize in counseling children and adolescents. My journey has given me a deep understanding of the unique pressures individuals face at different life stages.
I am committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. My goal is to empower you to break through barriers and find practical solutions for lasting well-being.
Helping young people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, and social skill deficits is a big task! Through therapeutic interventions grounded in empathy and evidence-based practices, I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can:
✔ Explore their feelings
✔ Gain insights
✔ Develop effective coping strategies
I believe in the power of collaboration and understanding and am committed to working with you to achieve your goals and enhance your overall well-being.
