Susan Mills

Susan Mills is a dedicated therapist who understands that each individual comes from a unique background, shaped by their experiences. Acknowledging that behaviors developed in response to past challenges may no longer serve their purpose, she works to help clients navigate relationship issues with friends, partners, and co-workers. With a deep insight into how coping strategies can stem from family origins, Susan empowers individuals to break free from unhealthy patterns. She believes in the intrinsic desire for every person to be heard and understood, recognizing each unique story as a vital truth. As a therapist, she creates a safe space for clients to explore sensitive areas of their past, employing a variety of therapeutic modalities including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Susan blends these methodologies with a culturally sensitive approach, ensuring that each person's experience is validated. At Emerging Hope Counseling Services, she embodies the philosophy that there is always hope for change, likening the journey of healing to that of the lotus flower. Just as the lotus rises from dark, muddy waters to become a thing of beauty, so too can individuals emerge from their struggles, feeling whole and renewed.
