Duenke Susan PsyD

Welcome to Pearls and Pebbles, a unique and compassionate approach to mental health and wellness services. Our founder, Dr. Sue Duenke, has over 30 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and has now refocused her practice to provide personalized support and guidance in three key areas: grief therapy, end of life doula services, and psychedelic assisted therapy.

Our Story

After decades of working as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Sue Duenke has distilled her practice down to the areas that bring her the most joy and fulfillment. She has a deep understanding of the complexities of grief, having experienced it firsthand at a young age, and has since dedicated her career to helping others navigate this often-difficult process. Her passion for supporting individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments has led her to develop a comprehensive range of services that address the emotional, spiritual, and psychological aspects of grief, dying, and personal growth.

Our Services

At Pearls and Pebbles, we understand that every individual's journey is unique, and that each person requires a tailored approach to healing and growth. Our services are designed to provide compassionate support and guidance at every stage of life, from navigating the complexities of grief to embracing the transition of dying with dignity and grace.

Grief Therapy

Our grief therapy services offer a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to process their emotions and come to terms with their loss. Dr. Duenke's approach is centered around empowering individuals to develop a new relationship with their loved ones, learning to live in the present, and treasuring the memories of the past.

End of Life Doula Services

As an end of life doula, Dr. Duenke provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and their families as they navigate the end of life journey. Her goal is to help individuals die with dignity and grace, surrounded by loved ones, in the comfort of their own homes.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

Our psychedelic assisted therapy services are designed to help individuals overcome trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. Dr. Duenke works closely with a prescriber to provide ketamine therapy, and is trained in working with psilocybin and MDMA, which are expected to be legal in the near future.

Our services are designed to address the emotional, spiritual, and psychological aspects of grief, dying, and personal growth, and our approach is centered around empowering individuals to live their lives with purpose, meaning, and dignity.
