Counseling at St. John's

Susan Brumbaugh, MA, LMHC

Are you feeling stuck? Desperate? Alone?

I want to help you stop struggling with and suffering from the things that keep you stuck. I believe you have strengths to draw from and values that can motivate and guide you, and we can find those things together. My goal as a counselor is to create a space where you feel safe saying out loud all the jumbled- up or self-critical things going on in your head, examining them together, figuring out what is keeping you stuck, and identifying strategies that help you live a rich, full, and meaningful life. I would be honored to work with you on finding a way out of the muck.

About the Location

Please know that you don't have to be
a member of St. John’s UMC, a Christian, or believe anything in particular to work with me. If spirituality is important to you and you want to include that in counseling,
I'm open to that, but it's certainly not required.

About Me

I tend to be that person friends go to

guidance and am a Licensed Mental
