Susan Junis, LICSW

Warm greetings to you! I have over 20 years experience of trauma-informed care for individuals and families. Most of my professional experience has included working with adolescents, women, survivors of sexual and domestic violence, and LGBTQIA+ individuals (including support and references for gender affirming care). I enjoy connecting with people, listening to the stories they carry about themselves and their lives, and how these stories and experiences impacts mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns. I’m also very interested in exploring the ways in which trauma and emotional memory are stored in the body and how we can address that together through healing nervous system responses in order to move more flexibly through life.

I’m passionate about providing support for neurodivergent individuals and communities as they navigate neurotypical, and often ableist, spaces. I value the interaction between individuals and their environments, and recognize that both personal characteristics and external factors influence a person's behavior and well-being. I also believe it is vital to address the material realities of oppression and privilege on mental health and wellness.

Clients often describe me as warm and comforting, though not afraid to offer a gentle challenge. I tend to have a dry sense of humor (play and joy are important!) and utilize a lot of metaphors in exploring change and growth. I look forward to connecting with you and accompanying alongside your healing journey
