I am Susanna Gedaro, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student with a multidisciplinary background and a strong commitment to supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, reproductive challenges, and major life transitions. I am completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, maintain a 4.0 GPA, and am a member of Chi Sigma Iota.

For over two decades, I have facilitated monthly infertility support groups through Central Florida Resolve, supporting individuals and couples facing infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive grief, and identity disruption. My personal experience with infertility further informs my empathy and understanding. Since 2017, I have co-owned and operated a surrogacy consulting practice, collaborating with physicians, mental health professionals, attorneys, and diverse family systems, with specialized expertise in infertility and third-party reproduction.

I am a Certified Florida Supreme Court Family Mediator and have completed Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician Training. My clinical interests include women’s trauma, domestic violence and coercive control, postpartum mental health, parenting stress, and recovery from high-conflict or emotionally abusive relationships. My work is trauma-informed, client-centered, and systems-based, emphasizing safety, autonomy, and identity restoration.

I hold degrees in Electrical Engineering, English Literature and Creative Writing, and Business Administration, and previously worked as an electrical engineer on Department of Defense projects, bringing systems-level thinking and ethical awareness to my clinical work.

I am passionate about helping clients feel seen, grounded, and empowered as they move toward healing and resilience. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy playing the drums and swing dancing.

Great info from one of our community partners!

Conflict is a natural part of relationships, especially for growing youth who are still learning emotional regulation and communication skills. The challenge is helping young people understand that disagreement does not require disrespect 💙

Through our Retain Your Brain workshops and peer support groups, students practice handling conflict in healthy ways. They learn how to express feelings without attacking others, take breaks when emotions are intense, and work toward solutions that preserve relationships.

This week is a reminder that teaching respectful disagreement is a powerful way to support both mental wellness and academic success. When families reinforce these skills at home, youth gain confidence in navigating challenges constructively 🌱
