Sue Carlson, MSW, RSW

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in my practice.

Throughout my adult life, my work has focused on people — how they work, what gets in the way of success, how to meet them where they are and help them learn and grow. I started my career as an educator with a special interest in supporting students with unique needs. Later, I followed my heart and moved into social work. Social work brings together what I learned from my work in education, from my own healing journey, and from my lifelong interest in people.

It would be my honour to accompany you as you embark on your journey of change. If you are interested in working with me, or if you would like to know more about me before deciding, I invite you to contact me for a complementary 20-minute phone or video consultation.

My Approach

I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that therapy should be collaborative — you bring your skills, strength, and wisdom; I bring insight, a fresh perspective, and professional tools to help you access and build on your inner resources. I strive to create a safe, flexible, and responsive environment where you feel heard and respected. I will help you notice what is already going well and build on that foundation.

My style is warm, empathetic, and practical and I bring a gentle curiosity to my work. I have training in a number of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, which allows me to tailor my approach to your situation, needs, and preferences.
