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.
