Susan O'Leary

Susan O'Leary, LPC, is dedicated to helping individuals who wake each day burdened by their problems. She understands how fear of failure, criticism, and imperfection can hinder people from living the lives they desire. Many, she observes, share familiar narratives such as, 'I'll take that trip to the pyramids as soon as I lose weight' or 'I'll apply for that job as soon as I'm an expert.' These stories reflect the struggles many face, often rooted in early life successes that lead to perfectionism and self-sabotage. Susan recognizes how these fears can isolate individuals from social activities, work, and their passions, and she is prepared to help clients manage pervasive negative self-talk and beliefs that obstruct a fulfilling life. By guiding her clients to let go of the pursuit of perfection, Susan makes real progress not only possible but probable. A veteran, military spouse, and mother of three teenagers, she is a passionate advocate for mindfulness in mental health practice. Those seeking a secure and honest environment where they can truly be themselves will find a supportive space with Susan. For clients facing challenges attending in-person sessions due to travel or family commitments, she also offers secure online appointments.
