Emily Sussman (that would be me) is a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and coach with a BURNING DESIRE…

I want to RUN a successful coaching practice, right here in South Bend, Indiana, that helps people get what they want and feel a LOT better in their own lives. ❤️‍🔥

But let me start at the beginning.

For more than a decade, I’ve experienced a ton of fulfillment helping people with all kinds of addictions find the peace, freedom, and joy of a life in recovery.

My clinical practice, which includes both group and individual therapy, provides constant challenges, discoveries, and meaning in my day-to-day life.

And yet…

I’d been running my practice, Freedom Recovery Group, for more than six years when I got to the point of running on empty.

I felt stuck in my career, the fires of desire more or less extinguished.

Looking back, I see the symptoms of burnout were all right there.

The needless worrying; the constant self-doubt; the feelings of hopelessness about advancement…

I had even started a slow slide into neglecting my health and finances.

But in early 2025, I realized that helping people overcome the worst of themselves was only a fraction of what I truly wanted to do.

I wanted to start showing people the best OF themselves: YOUR capacity to ignite the power of love IN YOUR LIFE.

To be continued….
