About Susan
Susan Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 28 years of experience. She focuses on trauma, grief, and related concerns such as infertility loss and miscarriage. She combines practical talk therapy with creative methods to help people reconnect with their feelings and take small steps forward.
Susan uses a mindfulness approach alongside art-based exercises to help people access emotions more directly. Working with art materials can speed up emotional processing and give a fresh way to speak about painful experiences. Sessions balance gentle reflection with tools to manage stress and anxiety.
Her background includes training in art therapy and long experience across mental health settings. That mix of clinical and creative methods informs how she supports grief after infant loss, fertility challenges, and other trauma-related concerns. She also helps with depression, relationship strain, and self esteem struggles.
Susan frames sessions around the person in front of her. She listens first, then offers ideas and practices that fit a person’s daily life. Mindfulness exercises, simple art tasks, and conversational work are used together depending on what someone needs in the moment.
Outside of therapy she spends time outdoors with family. She enjoys hiking, boating, camping, paddleboarding, yoga, and volleyball. Those activities shape her belief that small, steady moves forward add up over time.
