At Alternatives in Counseling , our goal is to assist you in making important life changes.
I am Dr Susan R Smith, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than twenty-five years of experience.
I would like to be your guide and partner in working to achieve your goals.
In my therapy practice, I work with individuals, couples and families. Because each client is unique, I develop individualized treatment plans that emphasize that client’s strengths, resources and goals.
- Coaching

I provide both life and career coaching. This involves persons who are trying to achieve greater work-life balance, who struggle with life-style changes related to health issues, or who are facing career transitions or obstacles to success.
- Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
Because I am an avid horsewoman as well as a psychologist, it’s not surprising that I have been drawn to this emerging area of therapy. The focus of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is on the client and the personal needs and struggles he or she brings to the session, not on riding skills or horsemanship. |
