Susanna Sartain

Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

“Dedicated, qualified therapist working primarily with young adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions/adjustment, and career planning.”

About Me

I am a dedicated therapist, supporting young adults through the unique pressures of emerging adulthood. When facing depression, anxiety, or big life changes, it can feel overwhelming. I offer a collaborative space to explore these feelings and develop clear strategies. Together, we navigate transitions and shape meaningful career paths, building confidence for what's next. My aim is to help you find your steady footing.

Approach

With young adulthood’s shifting demands, my sessions move from steady grounding to targeted planning so you feel capable between meetings. I offer English-language sessions in Charleston and online, creating a calm, paced space where we track mood, unpack pressures, and set short experiments you can try between appointments. Therapy blends practical tools—skill rehearsal, values-based decision steps, and career mapping—with reflective check-ins that make choices feel less overwhelming. This way of working tends to suit adolescents and young adults seeking hands-on support through transitions.
