“In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be.”

- Mary Oliver

Suzy Daren is the founder of Williamsburg Yoga Psychotherapy and a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York (#00982) and Florida (#MT4810). She graduated with honors from the University of Toronto with a bachelor of science in psychology and religion (1999) and then a master's degree in counseling psychology from John F. Kennedy University (2008). Since then, Suzy has worked in private practice counseling a diverse population of individuals, couples, and families.

Suzy, who has studied Ayurveda, nondual Tantra, and other spiritual traditions since 1995, is a pioneer in the field of yoga psychology. She never wavers in her dedication to living her life as a spiritual practice and is unrelenting in her pursuit of an ever-deeper understanding of the Self and the ways in which each of us is intrinsically connected to the universe and each other.

With the onset of the #metoo movement in 2017, Suzy took a greater interest in women’s sexuality and its liberation from patriarchal culture.  Since then she has focused her continuing education on how to support women in rewilding their sexual energy so that they may heal from past trauma and experience greater health, vitality, and enjoyment from their sex lives.

In session, Suzy is a deep listener and responds to each client’s unique constitution and desired outcomes.  Implementing a truly integrative approach between East and West, and the body, mind, and spirit, treatment modalities may include: Hatha yoga, ayurveda, breathing and meditation practices, depth psychology, psychodynamic therapy, existential psychology, psychedelic integration therapy and other cutting edge approaches to treating the mind and emotions.   

It is Suzy’s most sincere desire that all beings diminish their suffering, optimize their potential, and know their true nature.
