ABOUT SUZANNE LACHMANN
As a Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in executive mental health, trauma recovery, and organizational wellness. I work with high-performing professionals, including first responders, veterans, and corporate leaders, to provide psychological services that promote emotional resilience, coping skills, and effective team dynamics.I’ve been featured in MSN, as well as TIME, HuffPost, Street Journal, Women’s Health, Men’s Health, and other leading outlets where I share insights on trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and mental health. With a PsychologyToday.com blog that has received over 14 million reads, I am deeply committed to promoting mental well-being in both individual and organizational contexts.In addition to my clinical work, I have extensive experience consulting for organizations to develop mental wellness programs for executives and teams, ensuring mental health is positioned as a cornerstone of leadership performance and organizational success.I am currently seeking executive, director, and leadership roles in organizations where I can apply my experience with identifying and creating mental health services that address the specific needs of that organization and develop leadership strategies to identify strengths, foster resilience and enhance organizational well-being.I am passionate about supporting leaders to cultivate emotional intelligence, build resilient teams, and prioritize mental health at all levels.My upcoming book, “Surviving Your Epic Breakup: Journey from Loss to Hope,” should be complete by summer and will be looking for a publishing home.
