Ms. Susan Perry Halvorsen

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Art Therapy and Marital and Family Therapy. I also did a post-graduate fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles before returning to my hometown of Santa Fe NM. I've been working in the field since 1999. I have had great success in helping people overcome their eating disorders. I also have experience in treating addictions, abuse and neglect, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, stress anxiety, family and relational conflict and grief and loss issues.

I am particularly skilled in using the expressive and art therapies in combination with psychodynamic, transpersonal, cognitive-behavioral and family systems therapies. I believe in the power of art to heal emotional wounds and I bring to my practice a passion for the work I do and the clients.

I am caring and empathic therapist interested in helping people access their innate strengths, achieve greater self awareness and find more success and happiness in life. I work with adults, children, adolescents, couples and families. I tend to match my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients.
