Susan LeClair
Are you feeling lost; confused or broken? I have 26 years experience working in crisis intervention; depression; anxiety; grief/loss; divorce; gender identity/gay orientation issues; co-parenting; relational problems; domestic violence issues; trauma; sexual abuse; and career/life transition issues. I believe that therapy should be a place where you can feel heard, understood, and completely free to be yourself. I'm a down to earth, compassionate, and non judgmental therapist who genuinely loves what I do. I see each person as an individual and meet your where you are, without judgement or expectations.
First session
I let clients focus on what they want to talk about, and never discuss something the are not ready to speak about.
Strengths
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck, I bring patience, humor, empathy, and practical support to the therapeutic relationship. Most importantly, I bring a belief in your ability to grow, heal, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
Ideal clients
18 + As a licensed therapist, I have experience working with individuals; couples and families. I am extremely ethical and non- judgemental. If i do not feel I can help in your presenting issues; I will refer you to someone who could better assist you.
Origin story
My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. I experienced depression and anxiety within my family of origin, including the devastating loss of my father and uncle to suicide. Those experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of how deeply mental health challenges can affect individuals and families. Rather than allowing those experiences to define me, I chose to let them shape me. They inspired me to better understand mental health, help others navigate difficult moments, and be a source of support for people who may feel alone or overwhelmed. My own experiences have taught me the importance of compassion, connection, and having someone who will listen without judgement. They are a big part of why I love what I do and why, after 26 years, I continue to feel privileged to walk alongside people as they work toward healing, and growth.
