Meet Sue Errera

My work with a wide range of youth, young adults, and adults - diverse in race, socioeconomic background, family structure, emotional and behavioral needs, and educational experiences - has prepared me to support clients through many different life circumstances. My years in private school counseling, a juvenile placement facility for boys, and collegiate counseling have given me invaluable wisdom from incredibly brave people, and I bring that perspective into every session.

A passion of mine has always been to hear those who may not be speaking the loudest and to make visible those who feel unseen or overlooked. I want every client to know they matter, they have worth, and their goals are deserving of pursuit. I’m also drawn to clients who appear to “have it all together” but quietly long for a safe place to rest, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

For clients who wish to explore spiritual concerns, I offer a compassionate and knowledgeable space. I have earned a certificate in pastoral counseling through the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF), affiliated with Westminster Theological Seminary. Many people face challenges related to faith — uncertainties, past hurts, spiritual abuse, relational impacts, or questions about calling and purpose. If you’d like to incorporate your faith into therapy, or if you’re wrestling with spiritual questions, I would be honored to walk with you.

My therapy style is warm, compassionate, and gentle. I’ve been told I put people at ease quickly, and I integrate humor where appropriate to create an emotionally safe, down-to-earth environment. I listen with curiosity and care, offering alternative ways of interpreting experiences that can lead to more positive feelings and outcomes. My goal is for clients to feel supported, understood, and empowered as they navigate life transitions and challenges.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy kayaking, walking my dog, and spending time with my family. I’m inspired by podcasts like Unlocking Us and Balance365 Life Radio, and I often recommend books such as Kristin Neff’s Self-Compassion. Brené Brown’s work has also deeply influenced me.

I hope we have the opportunity to work together. It would be a privilege to support you as you step into your own “arena” with courage, compassion, and hope.
