About Me

My name is Susan Randolph and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Randolph College (formerly Randolph Macon Woman's College) in Lynchburg, Virginia and I earned a Masters of Counseling Psychology from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

In the fall of 2011, I began Randolph Counseling Services for assisting individuals in making choices and moving forward in their lives. I value listening, providing empathy, and implementing cognitive-behavioral techniques for my clients.

I've had the opportunity to serve individuals coping with a variety of circumstances, including:

• Lack of energy or direction.
• Difficulties with communication.
• Challenges with self-esteem.
• Grief and loss.
• Family confusions.
• Premarital Counseling.
• Lack of emotion or out of control emotions.
• Marriage conflict.

Prior to 2011, I worked at Sweet Briar College for 7 years as their mental health counselor. My mission at the school was to assist students with their emotional stability; the students most frequently came to counseling for anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, relationship challenges, and sexual identity questions.

I became a counselor because it gives me great pleasure to help people reach a deeper level of personal understanding, shift their behaviors, and learn to communicate more effectively with others. I feel satisfaction when motivating and stretching the abilities of people in their work, their home environment, and their studies.
