How can co-parenting counseling help if we’re dealing with a very high-conflict situation?

Susan is an incredibly compassionate person that also happens to be a fantastic therapist. Perhaps that’s the “secret sauce.” Talking to Susan is always non-threatening and you’re sure to feel safe talking about those not-so-pleasant things that brings you to a therapist’s office in the first place. Susan listens to you as a real person and the dialogue is never sterile or cold. Her therapy style is traditional, yet genuinely warm and caring. I can personally say that my life has dramatically changed since I started working with her. Thanks to Dr. Christiansen, my goals and dreams are now becoming realities, I am so much happier!! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Christiansen.

Susan J. Christiansen, Ph.D. is a person of good character and whose personal convictions are strong.

Dr. Christiansen is an effective and trusted professional in her field. She found great joy in helping me cope with current life challenges and adversities.

I am fortunate to have shared conversation which was built on a wonderful trusting relationship with Susan.

I have seen Susan Christiansen on and off for the past few years. Of course, the more regularly we meet, the better things go. What particularly impresses me about Susan is she is a knowledgeable therapist who is deeply concerned for her clients and at the same time is strongly dedicated to her own self-growth and development. She frequently attends workshops and conferences to enhance her knowledge and expertise. Whenever I see her, she makes me feel at home and at ease, which is what I really value in a good therapist and which is why I keep meeting with her. I can say without hesitation that Susan is someone I would wholeheartedly recommend to others. She’s a good person and she really cares.

I have never gone to counseling before, therefore I was quite nervous when I walked into Dr Christiansen’s office for the first time! After only a few minutes, though, I felt so much more comfortable and hopeful once we started talking. I now genuinely look forward to our sessions together, it is a comforting place and I feel like I will come out of each session with something new that I have learned in order to help me. dr Christiansen is very thorough with each session and her responses to my questions. In only a few sessions she has really helped me to be a more positive person each and every day.
