Dr. Susan Hall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington and has worked in social service and counseling settings since 1991.  After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in social work from Anderson University in 1991, Susan co-founded a transitional housing program for women and children in central Indiana where she directed the program until her entry into graduate training in 1998.  Susan attended Mars Hill Graduate School where she obtained her Master of Arts in Counseling in 2000.  She was one of two students in her class selected by faculty to complete a yearlong, post-graduate counseling training program.  Susan started her private practice upon the completion of this training.

In 2004, Dr. Hall opened Greenlake Counseling Services (GCS), a counseling community that provides low-cost office space for private practitioners; GCS is now home to nearly 30 practitioners.  Susan created a similar community in 2009 in the lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. That suite of offices provides Class A commercial space for established practitioners who wish to enjoy resplendent views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.

Susan received her Doctor of Ministry in International Feminist Theology from San Francisco Theological Seminary in May of 2008.  She was fortunate to study abroad with women from every continent while learning the perspectives of feminist theologians from around the world. Her program at SFTS was coordinated by the late Letty Russell, Ph.D., one of the world’s foremost feminist theologians and long-time member of the Yale Divinity School faculty.

In 2009, Dr. Hall co-founded Seattle Therapy Alliance (STA) with her colleague Julie Cake, M.A., LMHC. STA was established with the two-fold vision of training graduate counseling students in feminist psychotherapy while simultaneously making low-cost therapy available to local women in their movement toward self-actualization.

Susan has received post-graduate training in art therapy, marriage and family therapy, gender and violence, attachment theories, feminist ethics, Clinical Supervision, and the residual psychological effects of slavery.  She is qualified as an Approved Supervisor in Washington State for therapists seeking ongoing supervision.
