About Susan
Susan St Vrain is a Washington state licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of experience helping people find balance during stress, anxiety, and big life changes. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage depression, grief, trauma, and everyday overwhelm. Susan emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's own expertise about their life.
Susan uses a client-centered and body-aware approach that blends talk therapy with somatic work and therapeutic yoga. She offers mindful practices, movement, and meditation as tools alongside more traditional cognitive and emotional work. These methods are presented simply, so clients can try them and decide what fits.
Sessions are meant to be creative and solution-focused. Susan works with people on stress, anxiety, ADHD, sleep problems, relationship and parenting concerns, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with loss, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and recovery from abuse or neglect.
Her background includes trauma-informed care and many years of teaching psychoeducation about self-care, breath work, and gentle movement. Clients who want an integrated body-mind approach often find this useful when talking alone doesn’t fully address how they feel.
Susan aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where practical steps and small habits build toward stronger daily routines. She invites people to take gradual steps, experiment with tools, and shape therapy around their goals and pace.
