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.

Sue listens attentively as I speak. She always allowing me to feel heard. She validates my expressions when needed and shares insight. Each visit I feel in safe hands. You can tell she has the needed background lived experience to offer the best support. I've been working through a variety of heavy topics that span from child to adulthood. I always feel she is able to guide me. Her humility allows her to speak up if she needs to research something further. I've noticed that we both have a zest for learning . In summary feeling supported, safe, and truly understood and this is of top priority. Sue offers everything and more.

She is absolutely one of the most empathetic listeners I’ve ever met. She truly cares about how her words sound and can be understood and she takes time to learn about you.
