About me

Sue Frazier-Bear
MS/LPC/MHSP/S

Welcome to the safety and acceptance of my counseling space. I bring over sixteen years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Mental Health Service Provider. I also bring experience as a training supervisor of those aspiring to be counselors. As a provider who has also sat in the client’s chair in therapy, I bring an understanding of the importance of trust in this very special relationship, which for me, is founded in the belief of dignity and respect for all. Over the years I have studied my craft extensively, and I have honed my counseling skills in concentrated work in education and with psychiatrists, mentors, and other counselors. Yet, it is my work with my clients that has given me the greatest understanding of my purpose as a counseling professional and my place as a support for those clients as they address issues and work to find meaning in the journey. My skills are best employed in individual counseling, where I employ Compassion Focused Therapy.

In 2 words, I feel strongly that Sue is a Personable Professional - her empathic character is balanced with her effective manner of counsel. I respond well to Sue's ways - of mirroring assurance and modeling competence naturally.
