Susan Strasburger, PhD

Integrative Counseling is a unique blend of in-depth counseling and strategic coaching - offering both a safe haven to explore and a springboard for action. Our approach is compassionate and committed to helping you find solutions that truly work for you, as you clarify challenging issues, create new options and experience relief and self-confidence in the process.

We especially invite individuals who have already been on the path for a while and would like a skilled ally in refining and deepening their journey, as well as couples who want to transform conflict into authentic connection with themselves and each other. And, all are welcome. We will work together to find your way, not one imposed from the outside.

With a full palette of cognitive, emotional and somatic approaches, we will discover the best "mix" for you in order to create more resilience in-the-moment as well as lasting change. Sessions are currently via Skype or Zoom.
