Susanne Perry M.A. in Clinical Counseling, Ph.D. in Business Administration and Economics

About:

I am currently serving as COCA's president elect and I very much enjoy being involved in the strengthening of our professions' growth and well being.

I work best with people over 50 and under 30 - to help them overcome whatever ails them. I mostly work with adults over 50 who have entered a new phase of their lives or relationships, are considering retirement or have retired and find that they need to find a new purpose and passion in their marriage as well as their lives.  I also work with young immigrant women who find acculturation and integration difficult.  I am aided by the fact that I am over 60 years old and an immigrant myself.

As for my purpose and some life experiences, here is a brief summary.  I have no high school degree and yet earned a Ph.D. in business administration.  I started as an apprentice and yet taught MBAs as an adjunct professor.  But once I survived cancer, I reevaluated my live, went back to school, earned an M.A. in Clinical Counseling and never looked back.

I always found purpose in any of my professions, which resulted in increased competence and enjoyment.  I used to wonder about that.  I now recognize that I had always been on the path of becoming a psychotherapist.  Whether working as an apprentice or as a professor, my desire was to aid in the relief from chaos and pain, resulting in a joyful and restful calmness in the people I work with.

I like a good challenge.  Always have.  I like seeing people getting support, growing and benefiting from it.  Always have.  And I love it when I have something to do with that.  Always have.
