DR. SUSAN GAMBERG, PHD

About Me

Educated at McGill University in Montreal, I am a registered psychologist with 20 years of experience working in hospital, university and community settings. I work with adults, older adolescents and couples, and have an integrative and flexible approach to psychotherapy.

Trained in Cognitive-Behavioural therapy, Dialectical Behaviour therapy, Interpersonal therapy, Prolonged Exposure and EMDR, I also draw upon Compassion-focused as well as Mindfulness and Motivational approaches.

My specialties are in the treatment of eating disorders, emotion dysregulation, and trauma, and I have extensive experience working with anxiety and mood disorders, self-injury, identity development and relationship concerns. I take an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach to my work with couples.

I value diversity and have broad training and proficiency in multicultural competencies. I am creative and respectful, and my approach is specifically adapted to the person and the presenting issue at hand.

Aside from clinical work, I also enjoy teaching and was a faculty lecturer at McGill University where I taught courses at the graduate and undergraduate level. Since my arrival in Halifax, I have become affiliated with Dalhousie University through the department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the department of Psychiatry where I supervise students in psychotherapy and research.

About Me

Educated at the University of Ottawa, I am a Registered Counselling Therapist with 17 years of experience working in high school, college, and university settings. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults using a Client-Centered, Narrative, CBT and Solution-Focused approach to psychotherapy that is flexible and adaptive to meet the needs of my clients. I support clients in the treatment of areas ranging from anxiety, depression and stress management to relationship-building, motivation and career planning.

I am also an Approved Supervisor and offer supervision to NSCCT Candidates.

Having lived in cities across Canada and worked in educational institutions from coast to coast, I bring with me a wealth of real-world and practical experience. I am fluent in several languages and offer services in English, French, Italian and Spanish. Clients can expect a warm and respectful environment that is welcoming to people of all cultures and backgrounds. 

When not working, I enjoy playing music, soccer, watching hockey, and travelling.
