Susan Finnefrock, MS, MA, LPC, NCC  

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing individual counseling for children, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients in two offices - one in Golden and the other in downtown Denver.

Reflecting back on the years I spent in business and corporate administration it is clear that as time went by and I continued to be immersed in projects and business deals, I found my thoughts and concerns increasingly focused more on the actual people involved. I developed a heightened awareness and interest in the human factor.  These new perceptions in the professional world converged with my personal life, where I experienced emotional healing with the help of two professional counselors. I realized that I had a choice for a better way to live. My true calling is to become who I was meant to be in a brand new setting where I can guide and support others through their personal transformational healing process. 

Become who you are meant to be through the transformational healing process. Isn't this a better way to live?

PERSONAL

I have been married to my husband Mike for 30 years and we call Denver our home. Together we have three grown children, three amazing daughters (in-law), and our first grand-baby!  I attend Flatirons Community Church and lead Redemptive Living for Women© psycho-education and support groups, for women with partners experiencing sexual integrity issues.
