Dr. Sjuts has been treating patients at Columbus Psychiatry Clinic since December 2021. She is a behavioral pediatric psychologist serving children, teens and families. Her approach is often family-based, teaching families how they can promote positive behaviors and skills and build supportive parent-child relationships. She uses a wide range of therapeutic strategies to match what each person or family needs, including elements of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), as well as lifestyle changes to support healthy sleep, diet, and exercise. Sjuts also performs psychological evaluations and assessments — most often for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism.

Dr. Sjuts completed her undergraduate education in psychology, and her master’s and doctorate degrees in school psychology at University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She completed her clinical doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the Munroe-Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. She is a licensed psychologist and a member of the Society of Pediatric Psychology, the American Psychological Association and the Nebraska Psychological Association.
