Sue Herring, LPC, LMHC

Sue Herring brings 27 years of professional experience to her work with individuals and families, combining a practical, strengths-based outlook with training in multiple therapeutic approaches. She draws on a background that began in the fine arts and later included business experience in the restaurant industry before returning to school in her forties to pursue psychology and counseling. Her academic path led to a BA in Psychology from Florida State University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Troy University.

Sue is licensed as an LPC and an LMHC - that is, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and she uses those credentials to guide clients through a wide range of concerns. Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, and challenges such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses specialized concerns like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.

Clinically, Sue integrates evidence-informed methods rather than relying on a single formula. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) including Matrix Reimprinting, Rapid Resolution Therapy, NET, trauma-focused approaches, solution-focused work, and neurofeedback, among other techniques. This flexible toolkit supports individualized care tailored to each person's history, values, and goals.

Sue approaches therapy from a client-centered stance, holding that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses strengths that can support change. She frames the decision to seek help as a courageous step and positions herself as a collaborator who supports and empowers people as they pursue greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.
