About Suzy Newman

I have been working with individuals and couples as an Integrative Counselor and Coach since 2001. I began as a student at The Estuary in Nashville Tennessee in 1997. Since 2004, I have served as both an educator and the Director for The School of Healing Arts at The Estuary. My spiritual values and interests led me to pursue post-graduate work at Vanderbilt Divinity School. As a strong advocate for women and children, I served as Board President for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). My interest and experience in the peaceful resolution of family transitions led me to become a trained Rule 31 Family Mediator.  

I am originally from Chicago and have spent most my adult life in Nashville Tennessee. I am currently livining in Denver Colorado.  I love to stay active and enjoy being outdoors whenever possible.  I am the mother of 3 grown children and one grandson all of whom I love to spend time with.

Education

I completed the 7-year training program at the School of Healing Arts in Nashville, TN. During my course of study, I completed 3 years of Auric Healing training, 3 years of training in Kabbalistic Healing and a year-long internship.  

I have training from the Gottman Institute as well as an externship with Dr Sue Johnson, creator of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT- A systematic and powerfully effective approach in empowering couples to reduce conflict and distance, and create a more loving and secure bond). I have trained in psychodrama with Tion Dayton .

Dedicated to my profession, I continue to seek educational opportunities and professional mentoring in the form of ongoing Supervision.
