Integrative Coaching
for growth and transformation
Healing isn’t just about digging into the trauma of the past. We need to synthesize the lower and higher aspects of ourselves and our experience, merging healing with growth. Not just healing but creating a fulfilling life.
We’ll work together in these collaborative sessions to use your past as fuel and future as inspiration. Through my exploratory process, a natural “call of self” emerges: an inner purpose that keeps you open to life. This is how we truly become resilient.
As we heal from trauma or deep developmental or attachment wounds, or even just general growth, we begin to realize we’re not who we thought we once were; an existential crisis of sorts emerges. Navigating this new space and sense of self is pivotal on your journey, or we’ll cycle right back into old patterns by default.
I leverage a variety of tools in these sessions, from dream work to reflective questioning, but at the heart is psychosynthesis, which is a spiritual psychology emphasizing the whole and true self and a synthesis of inner parts for coherence and individuation. Psychosynthesis is the original parts work modality before Internal Family Systems (IFS Therapy) but offers a more transpersonal understanding of your true self, because otherwise it’s not the true self.
We’ll integrate your inner parts, discover new resources and creativity you didn’t even know you had, embody secure attachment, and take conscious action in life beyond self-imposed limitations.
Purpose, parts work, presence, and personal development for individuation and growth

These are collaborative sessions that we can approach by working through specific and very practical goals or we can delve deeper into new dimensions of self-awareness and healing. We will always focus on your relationship with yourself as well as promoting conscious action.
We don’t just have an unconscious with all of our shadows, fears, and traumas, which psychoanalysis focuses on and digs into. We also have a superconscious where our higher states of awareness, profound insights, and creativity emerge. Psychosynthesis connects both of these dimensions to use the past as fuel for something more in the future, not to get stick in it.
The tools I work with include everything from dream work to goal setting to inner parent, inner child, and inner adult integration.
This is a good place to start if unsure which service you’re interested in.

Long before Internal Family Systems (IFS Therapy), there was a psychology all about synthesizing the parts of the psyche to move towards the innate wholeness of the true Self, and it’s called psychosynthesis.
You never heard of it because it is a spiritual psychology and relies more on philosophy than following a prescribed framework.
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal or spiritual psychology developed by Roberto Assagioli, a lesser-known contemporary of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Unlike psychoanalysis, however, psychosynthesis is not a perpetual analysis of the psyche and unconscious but instead seeks to synthesize our conscious and unconscious layers, higher and lower self or past trauma and future inspirations, to create inner harmony and importantly expand to higher consciousness states.
The emphasis is on parts work, purpose, direction, and authentic will.
"Psyche" meant "soul" in Ancient Greek, but we've separated the two and lost our connection to the latter, while severing psychology and spirituality. Psychosynthesis reclaims our soulfulness and reintegrates this into our very being for true self-healing.

Meet your guide
Hi, I’m Susan Reis, your coach, mentor, and guide. This is not superficial coaching, but nor is it endless talk therapy. This is about awakening to your true self and then following that path.
My journey into this work is deeply personal—my own spirituality has always been my greatest teacher. I know firsthand the patterns of avoidance, chronic pain. and the frozen states we can carry, keeping us stuck in life. I meet each person with the compassion and presence that I once yearned.
Unbind, dive into the human experience with grace, and live a life guided by intuition and heart.
I look forward to connecting and working together.
