My Approach to Helping
I am Susana Makintubee, MA, LPC, guiding people in the journey of navigating difficult life issues through mental health counseling felt like a calling to me from an early age. I have found that when people feel satisfied with their life and are living in an intentional way there is less opportunity for things like anxiety, relationship issues or negative impact of past trauma to take over. I would be honored by the opportunity to help you along your journey to living the life you want and deserve.
It is of the upmost importance to me that anyone I work with feels safe enough around me to say things they may have never told anyone else in order to start that healing journey. I strive for all those I work with to feel that I am as invested in getting to their mental health goals as they are and regularly check in to make sure they are getting what they need. I am completely transparent in my therapeutic approach and make sure people I work with understand the reason I ask the things I do and ensure their full consent before teaching any skill or providing direct guidance. While there might be times a session requires we get into a tough emotional space I ensure people I work with have the skills they need ahead of time to enter into that type of work and do not force anyone to speed their process along.
