about susan eppley

​

I have been a psychologist for over thirty years and continue to learn and evolve in my thinking about the nature of people and relationships. I earned both my undergraduate degree and master’s degree at Miami University, and my doctorate at the University of Cincinnati. I work about 30 hours a week in private practice. I have trained as a child and adolescent psychologist, as a couples and family therapist, as a trauma specialist, and as a therapist with adults and the aging. In addition, several years ago after the death of my husband I became a paramedic and volunteered in this capacity until retiring in 2015. I enjoy yoga and meditation, and in 2017 I completed my 200-hour certification as a yoga instructor. I am currently studying for my additional 300-hour certification. I am also certified in YFFR, which is Yoga For First Responders. One of the best things about yoga is that it teaches us how to tolerate distress. I am involved locally with Project Yoga in helping to design curriculum for both students and adults.  Project Yoga is a non profit that brings yoga, mindfulness, meditation and breathing exercises to people in the greater Cincinnati region who have never been exposed to these practices, giving them the chance to experience the emotional and physical well being that can result.

 

In terms of psychology, I first learned psychoanalytic style, then behavioral, and more recently cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma treatment. I am convinced of the intimate connection between the mind and the body — and of the richness an evolved spirit adds to these. My SRE logo is not only my initials, but it symbolizes and embodies the heart, mind, and spirit. 

​

My goal as a psychologist is to help people become more authentic, confident and courageous while expanding gratitude for the bountiful blessing in their lives. I enjoy experiencing the journey of patients as they grow, evolve, achieve their potential and find their bliss.
