About
Susan McClellan & Soul Centered Healing Arts
offering remote and in person appointments
Depth Psychotherapy refers to approaches to therapy that are open to the exploration of the subtle, unconscious, and transpersonal aspects of human experience. A depth approach may include therapeutic traditions that explores the unconscious and involves the study and exploration of dreams, complexes, and archetypes.

Susan McClellan MA
Hello my name is Susan McClellan. I work one-to-one with adults during periods of psychological and spiritual transition.
My work emphasizes presence, discernment, and integration rather than diagnosis, interpretation, or quick answers. People often come to me when familiar identities no longer fit, when inner shifts are underway, or when something essential is asking to take shape in lived life.
I draw from depth psychology, Jungian thought, contemplative inquiry, and clinical experience, while remaining responsive to the unique rhythm and needs of each person. My orientation is grounded, relational, and attentive to what is actually happening — here, now, and over time.
Working Together
This work is relational, paced, and attentive. Sessions are a space to speak honestly, to think slowly, and to stay present with what is unfolding rather than rushing toward solutions. I am less interested in fixing problems than in understanding what is being asked of you at this moment — and what supports integration into daily life. Silence is welcome. Complexity is welcome. So is not knowing.This work tends to be a good fit for people who:
are navigating transition or inner change
are willing to engage reflectively and over time
value presence over performance
want depth without dramatization
It may not be a good fit for those seeking
rapid techniques or protocol
peak experiences or spiritual bypass
coaching toward predefined outcomes
A brief initial conversation helps us sense whether working together feels appropriate.
Areas of FocusI work with a range of concerns, often where psychological and existential questions overlap. These include:
life transitions and identity shifts
integration after intense inner or spiritual experiences
relationship and attachment patterns
grief, loss, and quiet disorientation
meaning, purpose, and belonging
the tension between inner life and outer responsibilities
These are not treated as problems to eliminate, but as contexts that invite understanding, discernment, and care.
Sessions
Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes and are offered online or in person
Fees
My fees are $110 and $145 for one hour and one a half hour appointments. Payment is due at time of service, cancellation fees are required unless 24 hours notice is given.
Frequency
Most people meet weekly or biweekly, depending on need and capacity.
Getting Started
If you’re interested in working together, you’re welcome to reach out. We can arrange a brief conversation to see if this feels like a good fit.
Background and Training
My work is informed by training, and expereince in psychotherapy and depth psychology, with particular influence from Jungian thought and contemplative traditions.
I hold a Masters of Arts degree in Transpersonal Studies and a BA in Transpersonal Psychology. Ongoing learning, supervision and reflection are integral to my practice.
Reflections and Considerations
On Transition
There are times when what once mattered no longer does, and what is coming next cannot yet be named. This is not a failure of direction, but a natural pause in which something reorganizes itself quietly.
On Presence
Presence is not something to cultivate or perform. It is what remains when we stop forcing meaning and allow life to meet us as it is.
How I think About Change
Change rarely happens through force,insight alone, or the right explanation. It unfolds through attention, patience, and the willingness to stay with what is real enough for something new to take shape.
I understand change as something that emerges from relationship - with oneself, with another, and with lived expereince. Often what brings people here is not a problem to solve, but a shift already underway: a loosening of old meanings, an inner reorientation, or a sense that familia ways of beingo longer fit.
This work does not aim to eliminate difficulty or bypass uncertanty. It supports integration - the slow, practical work of allowing inner change to become part of ordinary life: relationships, choices, and daily rhythms.
The emphasis is less on arriving at answers and more developing the capacity to remain present, discerning, and responsive as life reoganizes itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in crisis to work with you?
No, many people cme during periods of transition, uncertainty, or quiet disorientation rather than acute crisis.
Is this therapy or spiritual guidance?
My work is informed by psychotherapy and depth psychology along with ancient mystical and contemplative traditions. The emphasis is on integration rather than labels.
What if I dont know what to work on?
That is common. We can beggin with what feels present or unclear and allow focus to emerge over time.ually work with you?
How long do people work with you?
It varies. Some come for a shorter period during a specifi transition; others work longer term This is something we can sense together as we go.
Is this a structured or directive approach?
The work is relational and reflective rather than prescriptive. WE attend to what is actually happening rather than following a fixed program.
