About Susan Hess
I am a Registered Psychotherapist based in Cornwall, Ontario, offering private practice mental health therapy both in person and virtually anywhere in Ontario. I specialize in CBT, EMDR, and trauma-focused therapy, and I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatment, helping clients feel supported as they move toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful change. Whether you prefer in-person sessions in Cornwall or online therapy across Ontario, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and create a path forward that fits your needs.
Committed to helping individuals achieve their goals of personal growth and healthier connections with others.

The Therapeutic Approach:
Our Unique Approach for your Unique Needs
At our core, we believe in a unique approach for unique individuals. Everyone is different, and that's why one approach or method is often not enough. We go beyond the traditional, one-size-fits-all solutions to ensure that your specific needs are met with customized care and attention. Whether it’s through tailored strategies, personalized plans, or innovative methods, we’re committed to offering more than just a generic solution — we provide an approach as unique as you are.
Everyone has their own path to wellness. We offer treatment for trauma with EMDR as well as other psychotherapy approaches for all concerns including CBT, CPT, EFT and ACT that are integrative and personalized to your specific needs.
Most importantly, your sessions are about you and not about a technique; your story, your session.
Inspiration and passion
I was inspired to become a therapist to make a difference in people's lives, helping them live at their fullest potential, feeling understood and accepted. I believe that people grow through their struggles and can build resilience and confidence with self-acceptance. My goal is to provide a safe and respectful environment where you can gain clarity, understand yourself, and create the changes you desire.
Your Session, Your Path
I believe that your session belongs to you, and it’s your right to understand and direct the path of treatment.
When you take an active role in your care, it empowers you to make informed decisions that align with your unique needs and goals. My role is to guide, support, and collaborate with you every step of the way, ensuring you feel heard, respected, and confident in the process. Together, we can create a tailored approach that prioritizes your well-being and leads to meaningful progress.
As your therapy unfolds, I also offer psycho-education to support your understanding of your experiences, which can validate your feelings and provide a foundation for growth and long-term change.
