Counseling Practice – Santa Fe Life Counseling Services
Santa Fe Life Counseling Services operates as a private practice at 518 Old Santa Fe Trail, Suite 1, PMB 127, in Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505. The practice is run by Susan Chambers Otero, who holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with both a Master of Arts and a Master of Education degree. Services offered include psychotherapeutic, counseling, and educational work addressing a range of psychological, emotional, and situational concerns for adult clients.
The practice’s clinical focus centers on individuals navigating significant life transitions and complex emotional challenges. Among the specific concerns addressed are divorce, job loss, relocation, bereavement, relationship difficulties, illness, and existential questions about meaning and life direction. Trauma treatment is identified as a specialty area: the practice frames trauma as something that can separate individuals from a deeper sense of self, and describes therapeutic work as oriented toward helping clients reconnect with and gradually rebuild that internal foundation. The practice states that its goals for clients include the development of greater understanding, greater clarity, and a more grounded and resilient sense of personal identity as outcomes of sustained therapeutic engagement.
Supplementary resources are available through the website in the form of community referrals and suggested readings, offering clients additional support between sessions and after the conclusion of formal therapy.

Specific named therapeutic modalities such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT are not explicitly described on the homepage. Insurance acceptance and fee information are not outlined on the website; prospective clients are invited to contact the practice directly to discuss consultation options and fee arrangements.
