Suzanne Best, PhD

At Suzanne Best, Ph. D., Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, we understand the complexities of the human experience and the impact that trauma can have on individuals, families, and communities. With over 25 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to providing comprehensive forensic, clinical, and educational services to support those affected by trauma and related conditions.

Forensic Services

As a clinical and forensic psychologist, I provide in-depth psychological evaluations and expertise in criminal, civil, immigration, employment, and disability cases. My extensive experience in forensic psychology allows me to expertly consult with attorneys and provide expert testimony in court proceedings. Whether it's a criminal, civil, or administrative matter, I am committed to providing objective, evidence-based evaluations and testimony to support the judicial process.

Clinical Services

Specializing in the treatment of PTSD and associated conditions, my approach to treatment is grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been proven to be the most effective technique for addressing problems related to trauma, anxiety, and depression. Through individualized treatment, I empower clients to identify negative or unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, and develop practical skills and strategies to overcome the challenges they face.

Veterans and First Responders

Recognizing the unique needs of veterans and first responders, I offer culturally competent services including evaluations, debriefings, treatment, and trainings to support the mental health and well-being of these courageous individuals. My experience in researching and treating trauma-related conditions enables me to provide empathetic and specialized care to those who have served our country and communities.

Workshops and Trainings

As an experienced educator and trainer, I am dedicated to empowering professionals working with trauma-affected individuals. I conduct trainings and workshops for attorneys, mental health providers, first responders, veterans' organizations, and community agencies, focusing on issues related to stress, trauma, and PTSD, as well as the rewards and challenges of working with trauma-exposed populations.
