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.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is amazing
Sus is the best therapist I’ve ever had. For the first time, I have seen real changes in myself after going to therapy. Sus is an expert and an extremely kind, empathetic, non-judgemental person. Thank you so much for all you’ve helped me with, Sus!
For the first time in the 20 years of seeing therapist and counselors, I finally found one that helps me in a way that works for me.
Sus is very kind and understanding. She listens well and then offers perspective and solutions. Would definitely recommend her.
Sus Austill has been so helpful in assisting me with working thru past and present obstacles. Her kindness and understanding has helped me be better than I was when I started.
Thank you so much. You really helped me to know everything is going to be okay.
Sus always makes time to listen!
Sus is patient and understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. Helping me learn so much and move past a lot of traumas and understanding more of myself.
By far the best therapist I have ever had. She is simply the best to talk to!
I’ve only met w Sus once but had an immediate connection. We have similar backgrounds, and she respects my stories. She respects my trials, my tribulations, my uncertainty about current situations, and generally Has the capacity to hold space, a sacred space space for what is troubling me.
Sus is a beautiful part of this world, she listens to you and hears you. Then she offers another way of thinking about that moment... Never dismissing you, just asking you to look and all while making sure you know she sees you.
Sus is very kind and makes you feel very comfortable from the first moment. They have helped me with a lot of personal issues that I otherwise would’ve been stuck with. I appreciate sus and would highly recommend anyone to them!
She is attentive and caring and asks the right questions
Sus has been exactly what I need. She is non judgmental, a great listener, and is not afraid to say it plainly. She gives me actual tools to use in my communication.
Sus has made it so easy to open up and immediately seems to have identified what I needed from therapy. So grateful to have matched!
Sus is a true blessing to have as my new therapist. I was nervous starting over with a new therapist after my first left Better Help. From our first session, Sus made me feel comfortable and heard. I got more insight in one session that I could relate to than I ever got with my previous therapist. I can not wait to continue my journey with her.
Very kind and understand and has great feedback on my issues and is incredibly accommodating
Sus is an amazing therapist, she listen and gives great advice! Somehow she makes me positive at the end of the session! Plus she always come up with creative ways! She’s unique
Sus is just wonderful , I didn’t think for a moment that therapy would be this helpful and thanks to Sus it’s just what I’ve been missing. Love how she makes you feel comfortable and how open you can be with her. I am grateful that I got her.
Great therapist!! She quickly established a rapport with me and could talk to me at my level!!
I’ve been using this app since 2019. I found Sus in 2020. She has helped me change my life for the better. I believe in her abilities tremendously.
Sus has a lot of patience and does not make your sessions feel “rushed”. She is also kind a receptive. I would highly recommend Sus!
I’m back for round 3. I love BetterHelp and recommend it constantly. It’s helped me greatly.
Sus is very compassionate and wise. She listens to me well and is able to adapt to the different seasons and moods I’m in. She’s helped me a lot during the time I’ve been with her and I highly recommend her.
She defines what a therapist is!
Sus is kind and compassionate I’m so thankful for her help.
She is amazing so intuitive So compassionate and Encouraging
I love my therapy sessions with sus. She is insightful, caring, and super friendly. Talking to sus feels like you are talking to a friend you have known your whole life. Highly recommend her!
This extremely smart and wonderful woman had me at "hello" lol. Like she knew everything about me from the moment I entroduced myself, a very bond-ful personality. Will be continuing my membership for sure!
Sus has been a great support system for me helping me navigate my emotions, thoughts, & feelings. I am very lucky to be paired with her & I am grateful for her knowledge & experience.
Meeting Sus is one of the biggest blessings I could have possibly asked for, I wish there was a measurable way to show how much of impact she has made in my life. She hears you and that makes a world of difference. I have laughed with her, cried with her and never have felt judged. I feel I'm healing.. thank you Sus...
Sus is funny, focused and has a way with her words. I love interacting with her.
Really enjoy working with Sus; such a patient and nice lady who genuinely cares about the people she works with. Thank you Sus!
Sis have helped me navigate many struggles in my life. She had some relatable moments which makes our therapy session more connective. I would recommend Sus to any friends or famil.
Sus has been an so incredible to me. Offered me guidance and kindness. I can’t express my gratitude in words. I am thankful forever for dear sus
I have only had 2 sessions with Sus. She is extremely generous with her time and sharing insights/stories that are metaphors for learning.
Sus is absolutely amazing. She is sincere and truthful! She has so many ways to take points of view, and she teaches you how to cope. I do not feel like a patient in speaking with her. I feel like I am talking to a long-lost close friend. Sus really takes her time with you and is so gentle, and is tough when you need her to be! I have been to so many therapists, and never have I so easily connected with one! I LOVE Sus!!!
I have had several therapists and never connected like I do with Sus. She offers so many different view points and sincere suggestions. I don’t feel like a time slot. She makes time and has offered to sacrifice her personal time for me when needed. I get excited knowing I have a session with her. She has a stellar personality and makes me feel so comfortable sharing. I have very high walls and communication is very hard for me usually. I feel she gives me effective tools to learn myself and this life I’m living.
Sus is always there for me when I need her, and she is always giving me very helpful and calm advice. I would highly recommend her for any sort of self confidence or relationship uncertainty. I plan to continue with her because I feel great having someone like her to talk to!
She is very intuitive and her guidance is spot on. I enjoy working with her and I feel supported. Thank you Sus!
Sus is a wonderful counselor! She understood exactly how I felt and was able to offer invaluable insight, advice, strategies and tips that have allowed me to manage my stress better. I'm so glad I was matched with Sus and I would recommend her expertise to anyone.
Sus has been absolutely wonderful. She is encouraging and very kind. She has been doing a tremendous job at checking in with me and making herself available. She times the time to listen and offers inciteful advice. She uses great analogies to help understand the process of navigating through my situation.
She’s interesting, open, loving person with big heart. I like to talk to her.. She sharing her story as well. it’s good to have her as companion in my daily life. I feel she''s strong, funny person that i can believe..! Look forward on our interaction, our work..
Extremely happy with my counselor Sus, she is amazingly supportive and ready whenever I need her
