Susanna Allred
Administrative Assistant
I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. It has been such an honor to work alongside the counselors here at A Quiet Place Counseling. Each encounter, however short, is truly so meaningful. The clients are what bring the life and joy to the work that we do here, whether on the administrative end or the counseling end!
Makayla Stewart
Administrative Assistant
I am currently pursuing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I love creating a warm, compassionate first point of contact with clients that helps them feel seen and cared for right away. I love being part of a team where my behind‑the‑scenes work helps them focus fully on the clients they’re walking alongside. It’s fulfilling to know that what I do contributes to a space built on trust, compassion, and growth.
