Sue is the owner and lead clinician of Believing in Kids & Families, LLC, with more than thirty years of experience supporting individuals and families on their healing journeys. She earned her Master of Social Work in 1993 and her Master of Science in Psychology in 1999. Sue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Colorado.
Believing in Kids & Families, LLC was founded more than 25 years ago on the belief that every person has inherent worth and goodness and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. From the beginning, the practice has focused on the whole person—recognizing that physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being are interconnected and cannot always be understood by looking at one part of a person in isolation.
As the practice has evolved in response to the needs of the individuals and families we serve, so too have our approaches and areas of expertise. Through years of experience and continued learning, a profound and recurring theme became increasingly evident: we are not meant to navigate life entirely on our own. People can benefit from cultivating a connection to something greater than themselves—whether they understand that connection as God, Spirit, a Higher Power, the Divine, or a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. This connection can offer grounding, guidance, strength, comfort, and perspective during times of both challenge and change.
Recognizing the importance of this deeper connection naturally expanded our understanding of healing and led us toward approaches that honor the whole person. This evolution has included the integration of Energy Psychology, a discipline that complements our holistic focus and supports our commitment to addressing the interconnected physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being.
Sue believes deeply in the strength, resilience, and healing potential of the human spirit. Throughout her career, she has supported individuals and families through relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, spiritual development, trauma, parenting concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, sensory processing challenges, and learning and behavioral difficulties. She has had the privilege of witnessing countless individuals rediscover their sense of self, reconnect with others,
and move toward greater peace, balance, and fulfillment.
At the heart of Sue’s work is the belief that healing begins with trust. She begins by developing a warm, supportive, and authentic relationship with each person she works with—whether an individual, child, couple, or family. She believes that feeling seen, heard, respected, and accepted creates a foundation where meaningful healing and growth can take place.
Sue brings together traditional counseling with Energy Psychology and complementary healing approaches that support stress reduction, relaxation, self-awareness, and spiritual well-being. Her work may incorporate mindfulness, meditation, and mind–body techniques, including tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing attention on emotional experiences and Reiki and yogic practices. These approaches offer additional ways to connect with thoughts, feelings, the body, and inner resources while exploring patterns that may be contributing to distress or feeling stuck.
Leading with compassion, Sue provides personalized services based on the unique needs, strengths, and goals of each person. Her approach is relationship-centered, strength-based, holistic, and nonjudgmental. She honors each person’s dignity, individuality, beliefs, and unique path while creating space for exploration, growth, connection, and healing.
Sue provides individual therapy, play therapy, group counseling and various circles where spirituality can be explored. Her vision is to help each person recognize and build upon their strengths, deepen their connection with themselves and others,
and create healthier, more meaningful relationships.
With extensive experience working with people from diverse multicultural and ethnic backgrounds and across all stages of life, Sue brings a broad and inclusive perspective to her practice. She works collaboratively with clients and families, helping them understand their unique needs, recognize their strengths, and connect with resources and supports
that can contribute to their overall well-being.
At Believing in Kids & Families, Sue’s goal is to create a place where people feel safe enough to be themselves, supported in their healing, and empowered to discover their own path forward. At its foundation is a simple belief: there is something valuable and worthy within every person, and healing can begin when we feel seen, respected, connected, and believed in.
