Individual and Couples Counseling

Susan Scott, PhD is licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in Washington state. Her counseling work focuses on clients who are interested in furthering their personal development as responsible adults. At the core of this work is a devotion to being honest, self-reflective, and willing to make life-enhancing changes in one’s own behaviors and attitudes. This involves a commitment to creating and maintaining healthy relationships with self and others, as well as to finding and expressing one’s own unique gifts.

Susan’s specialization is in listening to and collaborating with a generative spark that is inborn and natural to every person. She practices a variety of interactive methods: active listening, voice-dialogue, dream-work, active imagination, and sand-play in behalf of awakening and welcoming each person’s creative process. When weather permits, walking during sessions is offered to clients who want to combine dialogue, movement, and connection to nature as part of the counseling process. In her book, Healing With Nature, she describes walking-therapy and the ways the natural world can inspire the development of fresh perspectives in life and toward all of life.

Creative Process Consultations

Susan Scott, PhD offers creative consultations to experienced and nascent artists, as well as to those who are interested in expressing themselves more creatively. Mentoring is her emphasis rather than editing, providing critiques, or teaching. Her work involves not only awakening the creative instinct, but tending every stage of the creative process, whether that means accompanying a client through the discovery process; finding a new direction; making choices about focus and calling; tending the mysterious process of a changing vocation; facing and moving through blocks to the flow.

Her consultations offer practical encouragement for establishing space and time to practice one’s art form; encountering the internal and external critics, developing skills and education, dealing with distractions and absorptions, performance issues, productivity and essential time for rest and rejuvenation.
