Consumer Questions about Counselors

Susan facilitates individual, family and group counseling at her private offices located near Green Lake in Seattle, WA.

I view the counseling process as forming an alliance with you to explore the nature of your struggles.  Although we will spend much time dealing with the specific issues that brought you into counseling, we will also look at the nature of your relationships with the significant people in your life as well.  According to my theoretical orientation, many of the forces and dynamics that have influenced the complexity and intensity of your struggles are rooted in relational issues.  I believe you are made to relate in a satisfying and self-giving manner, and this is likely both the source of your greatest joy but also of your deepest problems.  Thus, we will explore how your relational style interferes with the enjoyment for which you are made.  This is also meant to give you hope, that by dealing with the source of the problem we will address the constellation of symptomologies as well.  I believe that some issues can have a physical component; in such cases, medical consultation will be advised.

“...despite all of the practical and technical resources that we have at hand today, there seems to be a renewal of the age-old search for something larger, and perhaps not so well defined. It has to do with an understanding of ourselves and our place in the eternal scheme...(thus,) I will stress the importance of the unconscious rather than of consciousness, the mysterious rather than the known, the mystical rather than the scientific, the creative rather than the productive, the religious rather than the profane, the meaning of love rather than the techniques of sex.”
