I bring a wealth of experience and passion to Klarity Health. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I earned my Bachelor’s in Nursing from New York University. Driven by a desire to specialize in women’s health, I pursued my Master’s degree as a Nurse Practitioner in Women’s Health and Gender-Related Studies from Drexel University, and I am board-certified. My career includes work at prestigious institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, along with extensive experience caring for underserved women at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). I’ve also trained under Worldlink Medical for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). With over fifteen years of nursing experience, my passion lies in helping both women and men feel their best and reach their health goals.

I provide services in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Vermont. I understand that everyone's health and wellness journey is unique. My approach to any wellness services that I provide, from weight loss to hormone management, is balanced and personalized.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience in outpatient therapy and hands-on parenting training. I am trained in EMDR which is a therapeutic model for addressing and treating trauma. I have completed certification programs in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, the Circle of Security-Parenting program, hypnosis, and I have national certification as an adoption competent therapist with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.). Working with women who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or relationship issues is my passion. My goal is to help you to feel understood and validated. I do this by listening to you very carefully, and asking questions to help us figure out what the root cause is for your distress. Once we can identify the root of the issue, we can then figure out how to help you move forward and figure out a plan for facing life’s challenges head on. Many people come to me and tell me that they don’t know where to start or how to explain what’s been going on, and that is totally okay, let the therapist worry about all of that. Let’s work together and figure it out.

Hello! I'm Susan Brock, an Adult and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping patients achieve better health, particularly in weight management and mental health. My weight loss journey started as a young girl with my mom attending weekly Weight Watchers meetings. Since that time, I have done Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Hilton Head Metabolism Diet, Slimfast, Cabbage Soup diet, starved myself, and on and on. I nearly died taking the Phen-Fen combination of meds years ago after only 1 month. I have done Belviq, Contrave, Qsymia, Saxenda, Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass and regained my weight. The struggle is real for me too. With years of experience in both in-person and telehealth settings, I've worked with various clinics and healthcare providers to support adults and seniors in their health journeys. At Weekend Health and Achieve Medical Weight Loss Clinic, I focus on providing personalized weight loss plans, prescribing necessary medications, and closely monitoring patients' progress to ensure they meet their goals. I've also had the privilege of teaching the next generation of nurses as a Clinical Adjunct Professor at Austin Peay State University. Guiding students through clinical rotations and sharing my expertise in mental health care has been incredibly rewarding. Previously, I managed ADHD care through telehealth, ensuring that patients received proper medication and care tailored to their needs. My work at Inovalon involved comprehensive health assessments for insurance carriers, ensuring patients received the preventive screenings and treatments they needed. I've practiced in various states, allowing me to bring diverse experiences and insights to my care approach. My commitment is to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all my patients, helping them navigate their health with confidence. Let’s work together to achieve your health goals! TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I prefer to be your cheerleader and lift you up. We are in this together and will be there to offer support in the way you need it through patient education, personal experiences or any way I am able.
