Susan Kistin, MA, LMFT

Whatever has brought you here, I've no doubt it's an opportunity to create something better. I can help you release old, painful patterns that go nowhere, so you can find the freedom to move forward with what matters most to you. You will find me to be an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your own life! You can rely on my 35 plus years of experience and my genuine, playful, compassionate and generous presence. You will get gentle and clear, inspiring feedback. Your concerns will be heard as you experience me actively engaged with what is most important in your mind and heart. Whatever you bring, however broken you might feel, I see you as whole, no matter what you are dealing with. Our collaboration will invite new, enlivening choices for you. We'll work as collaborators for your best evolution.

HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE I have worked with many people who have challenges living with high sensitivity. It can be difficult and can also be a great gift! I support this experience with great respect. AUTISTIC PEOPLE I listen, with heart, to each person's unique experience of living as an Autistic person, and can respectfully support your perspective, difficulties, gifts and needs. I understand and can collaborate on how you can successfully navigate meltdowns. NATURE BASED THERAPY (also known as eco-therapy): Your therapy can include the healing found in nature, if you wish. There is great guidance and renewal in the natural earth. You belong to a wonderfully large and regenerative web of life and nature can be a strong ally for you. I have years of experience as a wilderness guide so I can support you in connecting with nature in ways that profoundly support the change you are seeking. BODY INTELLIGENCE: There is therapy that focuses on what we call body intelligence: the knowledge, wisdom and information your body holds. You can learn a lot about yourself by paying attention to a gesture, a posture or some chronic physical pain. We live through our physical sensations-our bodies are the miraculous vehicle through which we sense all of our experience, every day. Connecting deeply with your body-mind can profoundly shift your whole perspective on life. TALK THERAPY: It is certainly important to use the power of words and the curious mind so there can be an underlying foundation of understanding where old patterns came from and how to shift them. I can meet you there.

I truly enjoy being an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your life. I find the field of discovery and change in therapy to be enlivening and freedom making. I believe in the interactive, collaborative process that happens between therapist and client in sessions. I love knowing that therapy is most effective when it's fun. I am continually inspired by witnessing the bright resilience of the (your) human spirit that shows up in sessions.
