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.

It is remarkable to me, just how much my counseler's therapeutic interventions have ushered me through crisis healing and provided me with sound skills for long-term self-maintenance. This phase of growth is highly welcomed! Guided through ways of understanding past and lasting influences, I've entered self-discovery more confidently. With my therapist's support, I continue forward.

So far I've only had 3 sessions and feel they were very productive. I think our sessions can be what we want them to be so I dive right in. I've had therapy in the past and Sue is fantastic! Initially I was concerned with starting over with a new therapist. But I knew for my first session that I had found the right fit. Sue has a lovely calming voice. She allows me to speak while being attentive to our conversations. She truly cares about the delicate nature of my discussions. She is thoughtful yet insightful with her replies. I always feel well cared for with her. She gives me tools to keep me going in-between sessions. I couldn't ask for anything more than I'm currently receiving from Sue.
