About me
Sue Frazier-Bear
MS/LPC/MHSP/S
Welcome to the safety and acceptance of my counseling space. I bring over twenty 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 rely on a variety of theories including psycho-dynamic and compassion-focused. I employ a variety of interventions from
these two theories, and other theories that work with individual clients.

Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder in adults and children;
