Unfortunately many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. I am especially skilled at working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. A client once told me "You should be a therapist for people who do not like therapy". I try to understand people on an individual level & adapt my skills to meet their needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not be simply "learning coping skills", to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working through the root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.

Currently offering only daytime availability! Majority of my experience focuses on relational trauma, ADHD, communication skills, boundary setting, exploring/understanding historical trauma, couples counseling, first gen struggles/challenges, assisting Latinx clients with cultural issues, addiction challenges, BPIOC support, Neurodivergent support, life transitions, and reproductive mental health.

Many of us have been emotionally wounded by family members, friends, loved ones, co-workers, and/or strangers. Psychological suffering can take on many forms, showing up in our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. Sometimes it can be experienced as sadness, depression, worry, anxiety, etc. This form of suffering, while painful, often points to the parts of ourselves that invite healing. And while the challenges of living with such experiences can be immense, they also present opportunities for growth. The truth is that you can find peace of mind, solace in your heart, and live joyfully, regardless of your past.

Life can be very stressful, and different things may bring someone to therapy. I provide a safe place to explore and learn, as I offer my compassion and support through your journey. I have a lot of experience with stress and/or trauma, as well as relationship issues. I tend to be gentle, compassionate, offer solutions and homework assignments, but realize deep down you have the answers, and are hard wired to heal under the right circumstances. I see primarily individuals and couples due to my schedule being strictly daytime (business hours)

Susan Sheidy, LMFT, is the Grace Counseling Services Clinical Director and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Christian Counseling from Liberty University and also received her Master of Arts graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty. She is licensed in Pennsylvania & Tennessee. The late poet Maya Angelou quoted, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you”. This quote holds a powerful message to those interested in a therapeutic relationship.

The relationship between therapist and client is of the utmost importance throughout the therapy process. As your therapist, I bring myself fully to our interactions. As your therapist, I listen with a compassionate heart to what you tell me, but I also pay attention to how you tell me. I strongly believe in the transformative process that occurs through therapy. I am committed to individuals, families, and or couples striving to achieve a better quality of life. With compassionate, non-judgmental support, I will work with you to overcome some of life's most debilitating problems.

Are you a parent who wants to help your child or teen to feel better? Does your child have problems with depression, worry, anger, social difficulties or disrespect? You want the best for your child, but parenting is hard. As your child's counselor, I use a variety of techniques such as talk, art, and play to help express emotions, connect with others, and solve problems. The first visit will focus on identifying treatment goals and a therapeutic plan. I will work with you and your child or teen to build skills necessary to live life well.

Life can be overwhelming, stressful and confusing. I get that. Sometimes we all need a little help navigating through the rough waters. I will listen to your concerns and hear what you are saying and notice what you are not saying. I will help you identify new coping skills to deal with the specific life difficulties you are facing. I view therapy as a journey that you and I will take together to figure things out in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress or relationship issues? I offer therapy. Are you considering divorce? Why not avoid court? As a Collaborative Divorce Coach I work with couples in the Collaborative divorce process to have a healthier divorce without going to court. I work as a peacemaker to help families transition to the next chapter of their lives; to build trust, improve communication & co parenting skills. The Collaborative Process offers support from a team of professionals to help couples with the legal, financial, emotional and parenting aspects of separation and divorce with dignity. I also work with co parents.

At WPA Counseling, We Understand the Ins and Outs of Mental Healthcare The path to a better and healthier mental health space can be long, intimidating, and scary.

Depression, anxiety, and even the fear of retaliation are all valid feelings to have when considering mental health counseling. The journey, however, begins with you.

Are you someone who is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, or physical pain? It may be time to reach out for some help.

Accepting new clients now! I am known for my warmth, compassion, and encouragement. I believe that for therapy to be successful, we will need to work as a team. My areas of specialty include anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, and grief. I have experience in addiction recovery, grief counseling, tween self-empowerment, and reproductive issues. Prior to counseling, I was engaged in non-profit leadership which included speaking and coaching women and teens/young adults. In fact, it was the individuals I encountered during that season of life which inspired me to pursue professional counseling.

Are you unsure where to begin? The counseling process can be difficult to start. I consider it a privilege to come alongside others while they navigate through transitions, trials, and unexpected circumstances. Life is a journey full of unknowns and that can make life difficult to handle on your own. I want to assist you in achieving your goals and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. The work that we will do will be collaborative and based on your strengths. We will build a tool box of skills and inspire self awareness as you work toward achieving your goals.

Are you looking for a therapist to get you unstuck on your journey through life? Are you hitting roadblocks on your path to your emotional well-being? Do you need help or assistance resolving obstacles at this point in your life? Or do you need to be heard or find your voice?
