Empowering Gifted & Creative Minds to Thrive

Gifted and creative individuals experience the world differently. Whether you're a creative adult or the parent of a gifted child trying to understand their unique mind, I’m here to help you navigate challenges, embrace your strengths, and step fully into the life God designed for you.

You’re Not “Too Much.” You’re Gifted.

Many gifted and creative people struggle with feeling misunderstood. You think deeply, feel intensely, and process the world in a way that often doesn’t fit the norm.

Maybe you’ve been labeled as “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too complicated.”

Or maybe you’re the parent of a gifted child and feel lost trying to understand their unique emotional and intellectual world.

I get it. And I’m here to help.

hey there!

I’m Dr. Suzy Thompson.

I’m a Christian counselor, educational psychologist, and trauma recovery coach. But I’m also a gifted adult who was overlooked as a child. I’m a creative woman who’s healed from betrayal trauma. And I’m a mom raising gifted kids of my own.

I’ve lived the struggle of feeling “too intense” for others and “too complicated” for systems that don’t get it.

Now, I help gifted and creative individuals—especially women and families—find clarity, healing, and confidence.

Let’s make your story one worth repeating.

  • “This journey has transformed me… I wouldn’t be where I am without her.”

    I can never fully express how thankful I am for Dr. Suzy Thompson and the profound impact she has had on my life. Like so many, I never thought the unthinkable would happen to me—until it did. Partner betrayal turned my world upside down, and I found myself struggling to navigate the grief and pain. But fortunately, I had Dr. Thompson in my corner. Her guidance through the stages of grief was invaluable. Had it not been for her support, I can’t imagine how much longer my recovery would have taken, or how different the outcome might have been. Thanks to Dr. Thompson, I am now a stronger, more confident woman. This journey has transformed me into someone more empowered in every aspect of my life—as a woman, a Christian, and a mother. I have emerged from this experience as a true lioness, and I will rise and roar for my family. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Thompson’s expertise, compassion, and unwavering support. Her help has shaped me into who I am today, and I wouldn’t be where I am without her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of healing and guidance during life’s most difficult moments.

  • "Dr. Thompson brought new life to our daughter’s dark times."

    Dr. Suzy Thompson’s ability to bring to light so many real life struggles, challenges and blessings with those who are gifted and talented is amazing! Her book encompasses many years of learning for our family. We never realized our daughter was gifted until we hit some of these very difficult struggles (she was even misdiagnosed as bipolar) Dr. Thompson brings up through her understanding of the GT teens.  Her wisdom, love and life breathing truth into our daughter brought new life to her dark times.  My only regret is that we did not know of these truths sooner. Dr. Thompson has been an incredible gift and blessing from God to our family!

  • “I highly recommend Dr. Suzy to anyone parenting or teaching gifted youth.”

    Dr. Thompson’s is an important book for teachers as well as parents. For me, it struck close to home not only as a dad but also as a child-explaining my childhood in so many ways as well. I was able to clearly see not only my three adult girls’ giftedness but my wife’s as well. I highly recommend her book to anyone who is searching for answers or information about parenting or even teaching gifted, talented, and creative youth.

  • "She will help you help your child use giftedness not as a curse but as a blessing"

    Dr. Suzy’s Thompson’s ability to explain the struggles of our gifted, talented, and creative youth, teenagers, and adults and offer positive feedback for parents and even counselors of these individuals is needed today. I was particularly drawn to understanding the differences between high achievers and gifted learners and also how so many of our gifted, talented, and creative youth are being misdiagnosed as having a mental illness when, in fact, it is just how they were created. Her book will help you help your child use his/her giftedness not as a curse but as a blessing in life!

  • "A must for parents who seek to understand their gifted child."

    From her own unique perspective as a gifted individual whose talents were not recognized until much later in her life, Dr. Suzy Thompson has written a practical and helpful primer for parents of gifted children.  Her book combines the most current research into the topic of giftedness with useful guidelines for parents who seek to understand their gifted child and help them to reach their full potential.

  • “She explains complex psychology like your best friend would.”

    For once in my life, I finally felt understood! Dr. Suzy does a fantastic job translating complicated psychological principles into plain English for any reader to digest. She shares her advice like a best friend would, giving gifted adults and parents the knowledge they need to raise gifted and talented children and help them truly understand what giftedness really is.
