About Susan
Susan Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 28 years of experience. She focuses on trauma, grief, and loss, including work related to infant loss, miscarriage, and fertility challenges. Her approach blends mindfulness and creative work to help people access emotions more directly.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's needs and pace at the center of sessions. Susan also draws on Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that shape current behavior. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.
Art materials are part of her process for some clients. Creating images and working visually can offer a shorter route to feelings than talking alone. Mindfulness practices are used alongside art to help people notice what is happening in the body and mind in the moment.
Susan has both personal and professional experience with fertility-related grief, and she brings that lived perspective to sessions when appropriate. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, and career questions among other issues.
Outside of her clinical work she enjoys hiking, boating, camping, paddleboarding, yoga, and volleyball with family. She is based in Colorado and conducts work in English.
