Counseling Practice – Suzanne M Elton, PhD, LPC
Suzanne M Elton, PhD, LPC operates a counseling practice based in The Dalles, Oregon, with office space at 500 Washington St. C. She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and has recently completed doctoral training in Depth Psychology. The practice draws on more than 20 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment.
A distinctive focus of the practice is support for military members and their families. Elton draws on her background as a Military Family Life Counselor for active duty and National Guard and Reserve units in both Oregon and Washington, as well as her personal experience as a military wife and mother. This combination of professional and lived context informs her work with service members and military-connected families navigating the stresses and transitions associated with military life.
Individual counseling is the primary service offered, addressing life changes and feelings of being overwhelmed. The website positions the practice as a non-judgmental space where clients are understood and heard. While specific therapeutic modalities are not enumerated on the homepage, the clinician’s background in Depth Psychology and her substantial clinical tenure suggest a depth-oriented, insight-driven approach to treatment.
Session formats include both in-person appointments at the office location and online counseling. Both self-pay and insurance are accepted, with details on specific plans available through a separate rates page on the website. Contact information includes a phone number at (503) 828-7878. Online scheduling and appointment request options are available directly through the site. The practice is also listed and verified through Psychology Today. No year of establishment is stated on the page.
