Dr. Suzanne Mouton-Odum

Populations Served

Children:

Dr. Mouton-Odum sees children from age 7 years and older. Common problems that are addressed in therapy are behavior problems (body-focused repetitive behaviors, disciplinary issues, attention deficit issues, discipline problems), depression, coping with life changes (divorce, moving to another town, loss of a parent or grandparent, illness), and anxiety (obsessive-compulsive disorder, fears about going to school, going to sleep at night, specific phobias). It is common for the child's parents to be an active part of the treatment process, as they are critical people in the child's life, and can effect the most change.

Adolescents:

Dr. Mouton-Odum has a special interest in the treatment of adolescents. Approximately half of all of her clients are between the ages of 12 and 18. Developmentally, this is a very difficult time for young men and women, as so much change is taking place in their bodies and in their lives. Oftentimes, adolescents struggle with anger, rebellion against authority, identity issues, self-esteem issues, peer pressure, academic problems or ambivalence, and substance abuse issues. Treatment is focused on identifying developmental issues that need to be addressed, and helping the adolescent to successfully negotiate them. Because adolescents often have strained relationships with their parents, treatment almost always involves their parents, and/or significant family members.

Adults:

Dr. Mouton-Odum treats adults with a variety of different presenting problems. She works with people who are experiencing changes in their lives (career change, divorce, relationship issues, job loss, and infertility), depression , anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. Dr. Mouton-Odum has a special interest in anxiety disorders and sees a large number of people suffering from fears, phobias, panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder. Further, Dr. Mouton-Odum also treats people who engage in body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and self-injurious skin picking.
