My name is Susan Locke, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in the state of Arizona under the supervision of Cassidi Beckstein (LPC). I am dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to healing and growth. With nearly a decade of experience in counseling and a background in substance abuse counseling, I bring a deep understanding of mental health and holistic well-being to my practice. I hold a Master of Education in Education Psychology and a Postgraduate Certification in School Counseling. Currently, I am also working on a Ph.D. in Health Science, further enriching my perspective on wellness.
​
I am a mental health counselor who provides support and guidance to clients struggling with addiction, stress, depression, relationship conflicts, grief, and abuse. I also enjoy helping clients develop skills to reach their academic, personal, and career goals, observing their interests, strengths, and weaknesses to offer guidance on educational or career choices.
In my therapeutic practice, I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), among others. I prioritize warmth, authenticity, and respect, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I believe in the individual's resilience and their capacity for growth, offering empathy and support every step of the way. My goal is to help clients change behaviors and thought patterns that make life with ADHD difficult, work through self-esteem issues common with ADHD, and teach coping techniques to control symptoms and better manage tasks.
I am excited to join Beckstein Behavioral Health and look forward to collaborating with clients on their unique journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
