About Sus Austill

Your story honors me
As you have a path that is unique to you.
I offer to walk with you …
To provide support over rough ground,
To offer tools for repair or new directions
Or just a chance to tell your story.

I bring 40 years of sobriety, 39 years of parenting; 28 years of working with children, adolescent, adults and families in the areas of mental health, substance use disorders and crisis stabilization in settings including outpatient, residential and inpatient. Personally, I also benefitted greatly from six years of therapy as I believe a good therapist has a therapist. Thus, my style has become intuitive over time instead of using just one type of therapy. My virtual toolbox includes genograms, recovery based therapy, motivational interviewing, empathetic listening, gestalt therapy, cognitive-behaviorlal theory, narrative therapy, mindfulness and tai chi.

Areas of speciality include PTSD/Moral Injury/Compassion Fatigue; Substance Use/Abuse/Dependency; ADHD; LGBTQ+; Depression; Anxiety, Childhood Trauma and Family Systems. I especially welcome people who may feel marginalized or isolated in this time of heightened stress as we are coping with a pandemic.

I offer to walk with you to provide support over rough ground, to offer tools to ease your path forward or just a chance to rest and share your story in safety.

“Sus has been a perfect match for me from Day 1! I love that the app’s intuitive algorithm’got it right’ based on all the intake questions, and matched us right away. She’s so caring, responsive, and kind, it feels lovely me talking with a skilled friend rather than therapy.”

“Sus is very easy to connect with. She's very attentive, and provides a relaxed, conversational experience. She shares anecdotes from her own life, and it's very easy to feel like you're spending time with a friend. Her wide range of life experiences gives her an informed perspective on almost any topic.”

“She is simply the best.”

“After years of therapy and a small amount of progress, I am so grateful to have found Ms. Austill! She listens and made a safe place for me to build trust and confidence, but started from our first session using her many years of experience, personal insights and her expertise to help me. Every session has given me an opportunity to learn more about myself and strategies to handle life in the present, while healing from trauma in the past. I’m absolutely thrilled and grateful to have met her.”
