Dr. Susan Lear
About me
I usually start by listening to you explain why you are coming to therapy now and where you are in your process. Then I meet you at that place and join you in your journey, sometimes leading, sometimes following, and sometimes walking alongside to help you get to the place you want to be.
My vision for counseling is for you to become the person you envision yourself to be. In terms of approach, I am well versed in psychodynamic theories, cognitive behavior therapy, systems theory, addiction and trauma treatment, person centered counseling and other theories, but I describe my approach as the "Whatever Works, Method." I tend to be practical and present focused, and I am patient and non judgmental.
Central to my style is empathic attunement, meaning I am attuned to your thoughts, feelings, desires and struggles, or today's vernacular "I feel you," and I adjust my style to your needs. .
Professional experience
Additional areas of focus: Self esteem
Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Susan Lear. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Lear has been an extremely valuable resource for me during a challenging time. I wish I had discovered this site and her help in the past, as I'm seeing positive changes I didn't know were possible.
