SUE ECHOLS, MA, LPC
MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR

Sue joined the Student Health Center team in July 1999 as the Mental Health Coordinator.  She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and is a licensed professional counselor in Texas, with clinical certifications in Domestic Violence and Forensic Counseling.  Sue's broad psychotherapy experience comes from varied clinical areas including community and state level mental health services, private hospitals, a psychiatric day-treatment hospital, a public crisis stabilization unit, substance abuse recovery facilities, community volunteer work and private practice.  She completed her B.A. degree in Psychology, with a minor in Speech Pathology from Lamar University.  Her M.A. in Counseling Psychology was awarded by Goddard College, Plainfield, Vermont.

The daughter of a career Naval officer/aviator, Sue was born in Key West, Florida.  Having resided in another country for a period of time, and moving around and across the country most of her life, it comes as no surprise that Sue loves to travel and does so at every opportunity.  She particularly enjoys trips to Europe.  Sue has two grown children, both Texans, with whom she especially loves spending as much time as possible.  In her free time, she enjoys reading good mysteries, listening to music, and just relaxing.

Sue is available for psychological counseling of individuals, couples, or groups by appointment only.  For "couples" counseling, at least one of the members must be a current student of Lamar University, as only currently enrolled students are eligible for Student Health Center services.
