Susan Zacharias

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I accept that we all bump or run into rough patches in our life journey. It can be easy or difficult to match up with a person to work through these rough patches. I have been in health care for 40 years and professional counseling for 20 years. I have witnessed a great deal of suffering and spiritual and emotional growth, in others and myself. I take time to learn about the person who comes my way. I believe not every “technique” fits every person. I find using EMDR or guided imagery to reveal a person’s deeper concerns fairly quickly, but I draw from other techniques and educational approaches as seems best fit. I am someone who embraces the effectiveness of 12 step programs for a possible solution to addictive compulsions but I totally accept those sorts of approaches are not for everyone .I will forward handouts I think might be helpful to you to guide a session or for later review by you.
I look forward to meeting you at this time in your life journey.

About

Susan Zacharias accepts that everyone encounters bumps and rough patches along their life journey. She recognizes that matching with the right person to work through those times can be easy for some and difficult for others.

With 40 years in health care and 20 years in professional counseling, she has witnessed a broad range of suffering as well as spiritual and emotional growth in others and in herself. Those experiences inform a thoughtful, steady approach to clinical work.

Susan takes time to learn about each person who comes her way, believing that not every technique fits every individual. She frequently uses EMDR or guided imagery to reveal deeper concerns fairly quickly, and she draws from other therapeutic techniques and educational approaches as they best fit the client.

She embraces the effectiveness of 12-step programs as a possible solution for addictive compulsions while fully accepting that such approaches are not right for everyone. She also provides handouts she believes will help guide a session or serve as material for later review.

Susan looks forward to meeting clients at this time in their life journey.
