Getting to know Susan Kunz

Hi there, I'm Susan! Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. From life transitions, personal growth, or even developing new skills, together we will work on finding meaningful solutions to your life's hurdles. When you are ready to take that next step, I will be here to help you get started on your wellness journey. My approach I take a client-centered, solution-focused approach to counseling and whole-person care. While I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities, I work with you to find the right approach that works for you and your lifestyle. That can include using Cognitive Behavioral therapy to identify and manage negative thought patterns to using mindfulness to manage stress, or even healing from past traumas and building resilience through compassionate support and evidence-based techniques. My focus I primarily work with adult and older adult clients who are going through life transitions, substance use, health challenges, immigration, and identity challenges. I have also worked with individuals or families in the military, as well as other first responders. Some of our work can include exploring your historical or current trauma, skill building, and forging expressions of self. This can also include developing relationship strategies, managing stress, or understanding your own triggers and how to change behaviors. Together, we will create a plan on how to reach your goals. My communication style As a practitioner of trauma-informed care, I believe in clear, open, and honest communication with others. I will provide a forum in which you feel safe, supported, and free from judgment, so we can focus on your goals together. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been passionate about supporting others through life challenges and people's potential for healing. During my undergraduate journey, I lost several friends to substance use and completion of suicide.
