Hi! My name is Susan Locke and I'm a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), under the direct supervision of Cassidi Beckstein, LPC, in the state of Arizona. I bring nearly 20 years of experience in behavioral health, including work in addiction counseling and community mental health. My approach is grounded and practical, shaped by both clinical training and my own lived experience navigating attention, regulation, and the everyday demands of life.

In therapy, you can expect a collaborative and steady space where you don't have to carry everything alone. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, addiction, and life transitions. Many people I work with have spent years adapting to high stress or unsupported environments. They're often capable and resilient, but exhausted. Together, we focus on helping you feel more regulated, clear, and in control.

I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my work. These approaches allow us to gently process experiences that feel stuck and better understand the patterns that continue to show up in your life. Along the way, we'll build practical tools that support lasting change.

I believe therapy should feel human and honest. You deserve a space where your story is respected and your nervous system can finally slow down. I'm here to support you as you create a life that feels steadier, more intentional, and truer to yourself.
