Originally from the Southwest, Susan Scott, Ph.D. has maintained
a private practice in personal counseling and creative process consultations
in Seattle, Washington since 1982. Before that, she worked for seven
years as an agency counselor with youth and their families in Colorado.
Her education and training is in Jungian Analytical psychology,
which emphasizes the creative principle in healing and growth.
The call to integrate art and psychology brought Susan to the Northwest
in 1982 to work with Jungian Analyst, Anne
de Vore, Ph.D., and several other artist/counselors in developing
a center for studying the creative process. As collaborative colleagues
they discerned the developmental stages of the creative process,
and the necessity to balance their time equally between their artistic
practices and their depth psychological work with clients.
Susan completed her doctoral work in clinical psychology under
the mentorship of
Hal Stone, Ph.D. at International College in L.A; and continued
to explore the depths of the creative process with Jungian Analyst,
Russell
Lockhart, Ph.D. over the next decade. In 1992 she studied at
the North Pacific Institute of Analytical Psychology in Seattle
with Mentors
Ladson Hinton, MD and Clare
Buckland, Ed.D.
After her book, Healing
With Nature was published in 2003, Susans work has focused
on presentations and workshops on Awakening The Creative Instinct.
She continues to spend half of each week in her writing/photography
practice from her home on Whidbey Island, and the other half in
Seattle working with her counseling and creative process clients.
