My Story

My name is Dr. Suzanne St. John PhD. I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with over 30 years experience, practicing in Wyncote, Pennsylvania,  just a few miles north of the city of Philadelphia. 

Since 1985, I have worked in private practice, providing individual and couple psychoanalytic treatment for late adolescents and adults.  I offer comprehensive and personalized treatment for individuals who want to improve or change themselves, as well as those who are struggling with mental health concerns. 

We as humans learn ways of feeling and behaving from a very early age and often repeat these patterns in our adult life, even when they no longer serve in our best interest. These patterns can lead to symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Often we are unaware of these patterns, feeling only the discomfort they produce. I practice psychoanalytic treatment that assists in revealing and resolving these unconscious patterns and conflicts. I help individuals and couples find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues with concern and compassion. People get better when they feel understood and have a collaborator as a guide in the healing process.
