Dr. Susan E. Schumacher

Approach Description: I consider it an honor to walk with you as you begin to explore and navigate issues that challenge you and hold you back from living a full and present life. Therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and designed to gently explore the feelings, thoughts and behaviors which make daily life difficult. Some clients need feedback and direction, while others appreciate a focused listener who is able to ask key questions. In session you will be able to explore various issues in a safe environment with my support. Our work will be tailored to your unique needs.  Together we will focus on allowing you to discover and work through the impact of experiences which affect your life.  We will work collaboratively to reduce chaos.  We will explore being kind, curious, and aware, with yourself and others, as you take steps to recover and heal. Therapy can be short term, to address a current difficult situation, or longer term, designed to explore old thought patterns and guide you, with compassion and understanding, as you shift toward making healthy life choices.
