Susan Earnst, LCPC
About Me
I specialize in helping clients who have had either recent or childhood traumatic experiences or attachment wounds. Besides potentially resulting in PTSD, those experiences might manifest as anxiety, depression, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, or relationship, trust and attachment difficulties.
Education & Experience
Masters of Science in Clinical Counseling, with emphasis in Trauma, Grief, and Crisis, from Northwest Nazarene University. Having previously served as a PhD wildlife ecologist for 20+ years, I bring an understanding of the biological and neurological basis of human behavior, and particular empathy for clients struggling with career choices and the work-home balance.
