I use a holistic approach to take into consideration how various aspects of daily life affect our wellbeing. My goal is to help YOU live your best life.

Susan Youngsteadt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor (LCSW-S). While she began her career working with children and families, her work has grown- becoming more rooted in working with young adults and adults with trauma, loss, depression and anxiety, as well as life transitions. At this time, she sees individuals ages 17+ for outpatient therapy. Susan also recently completed training as an End-of-Life [Death] Doula. She continues to seek continuing education in the areas of grief, life transitions, anxiety/depression, trauma, and more. Susan graduated from North Carolina State University (go Wolfpack!) in 2016 with her Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Professionally nicknamed "the challenger" due to her direct, relational, engaged style of therapy and reputation of holding people accountable, she uses a holistic approach, looking at the health of the whole body, mind, and spirit. Susan is LGBTQ affirming and works from a trauma-informed approach and is dedicated to being culturally competent, continuing to seek support to better serve her clients.
