Restoring Hope - Strengthening Relationships - Promoting Healing Our History   Sue McCann accumulated over 27 years of experience working in specialized school settings, inpatient psychiatric programs, and outpatient behavioral health practices.  She has been serving clients in the greater New Orleans area through her private practice since 2004.  Sue is highly regarded by her colleagues for her extensive experience as well as her propensity to share her skills with other professionals through the multiple training opportunities offered by Insights of New Orleans. Our Philosophy Insights of New Orleans believes in the client’s capacity to heal and relies on each client’s inner strength as a resource for healing.  The therapist serves as a guide to assist the client in meeting goals that are collaboratively established at the beginning of the counseling relationship.  At Insights, counseling embraces a client-centered philosophy in which the client controls the pacing of therapy while the therapist provides the motivation and path to solutions and change.  Counseling results in an increased capacity for coping, belief in oneself, and stronger interpersonal relationships.  The Counseling Process We view counseling as a process in which the client and the therapist develop trust and an understanding to work collaboratively to define and explore present problem situations and develop future goals for an improved quality of life.  We incorporate a systemic orientation in working toward the realization of counseling goals. “It takes unique courage to reflect on one’s life experiences and seek guidance when challenges arise.”   Suzanne McCann Sue and Dr. Rise VanFleet of the Family Enhancement & Play Therapy Center, Sue and Dr. Gisela DeDomenico of Vision Quest into Symbolic Reality Sue with Drs.
