EMPOWER LIFE COACHING
About Me.
Susan Tannenbaum is a seasoned wellness professional and life coach. Earning her Masters in Clinical Social Work from Bryn Mawr College in 1982, she has dedicated her life to helping those around her achieve their full potential.
A native of Bucks County for over 35 years, Susan is a proud mother of 3 wonderful children and a grandmother to identical twin girls. She has always supported her community and has built Empower Life Coaching to enhance the community she holds so dear.
Susan is a natural people person, an incredible listener, and someone with a proud bias for action to address whatever in life is making you feel stuck or off-balance. She has learned that often, regardless of your assets and character, it becomes difficult to use those strengths on a daily basis when you are plagued with irrational and intrusive thoughts that undermine your self-image and confidence.
Empower Life Coaching is not where you'll find your typical therapy session. Empower Life Coaching is a place where you can be honest, vulnerable and seek change. You'll find a professional who helps identify solutions and tactics to get unstuck, to feel more joy, and to live your very best life.

Susan's psychology program inspired a focus on child and adolescent psychological expertise. She graduated Cum Laude and with honors.
