Susan Gill

Susan Gill prioritizes mental health and aims to be available for a session within 24 hours of initial contact, except between 9 pm and 7 am when she does not schedule. She is a Michigan-based clinician with 25 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds.

Over her career she has practiced in hospitals, community mental health settings, substance abuse treatment centers, and in the homes of hospice patients. She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, and the effects of abuse, and she holds Michigan certification as an Advanced Addiction Counselor (CAADC) to guide work with substance-related concerns.

Susan often works with adult survivors of childhood abuse who have developed unhealthy coping strategies. She helps clients explore how past trauma continues to affect their present life and supports efforts to reduce anxiety, anger, and depression that can follow such experiences.

Her communication style is warm and kind - she avoids stigma and assumptions and treats each person with the respect she would expect for herself. Susan collaborates with clients to identify unhelpful behavior patterns and to develop practical, personalized changes that support better functioning and a more satisfying life.

She appreciates when people reach out for help and recognizes that change can be difficult. Susan offers supportive guidance as clients work toward their goals. Due to licensing requirements, she is currently accepting clients only from the State of Michigan.

Susan holds a master’s degree in social work and is licensed in Michigan as a master’s-level social worker (LMSW). She also has an advanced certification in addiction counseling.
