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.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Those interested in personal growth and improving relationships. Those clients who are willing to tell their story and are willing to do the challenging work of recovery from trauma, grief, and other situations that negatively affect their daily lives.

I had seen Ms Susan years ago when she worked at a different location and I couldn’t find her and finally I did and it felt so good to talk to her again. She’s the best therapist I have ever had, I had tried so many and none of them were like she is understanding and compassionate. I love her for being honest and caring. I always tell her she’s going to need therapy after talking to me lol.

My treatment methods

Supportive

I support my clients through active listening, responding with empathy, use of helping skills, and emotionally-focused techniques. I find it rewarding to work with grieving clients, and also have some skills for counseling clients regarding their relationships. I would also enjoy working with clients who want a Christian counselor, and want to grow in their relationship with God.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I have used this with grieving clients, with couples who have drifted apart, and with clients who have struggles regarding dealing with their past, and with current depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
