Hi, I'm Susan Maehre, a Licensed Professional Counselor. If you are feeling overwhelmed, are struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationships, or are grieving over a loss or multiple losses, I would be happy to work with you in a safe and comfortable environment. I have been counseling for 20 years, and enjoy working with clients regarding their challenges and concerns. I have had experience working with grief recovery, anxiety, depression, marital concerns, and other issues. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you should be proud of yourself for reaching out. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and together we will figure out ways to grow, heal, and work towards a fulfilling life.
Establish rapport and a working relationship, find empathy and understanding, and a willingness to listen and respond with empathy and understanding, discuss options for managing emotions, and find hope in managing and growing regarding difficult situations and relationships.
I enjoy helping clients process their pain, and find relief. I think I have a gift for walking through the grief process with people but once any issue is presented, I join the person amid their pain and we walk together and find ways to find relief and growth.
I support my clients through active listening, responding with empathy, use of helping skills, emotionally-focused techniques and also practical suggestions regarding managing depression and anxiety such as cognitive/behavioral techniques and mindfulness.
