Suzanne Austin (She.Her)

MSW- Clinical Mental Health Counseling

Suzanne is a therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families. She has extensive experience supporting autistic individuals, ADHDers, and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, caregiving, and life transitions. Her background in community mental health includes individual therapy, family support, crisis intervention, and wraparound care for individuals with complex needs.

Using a person centered, strengths-based, trauma informed, neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIAA+ welcoming approach, Suzanne works alongside clients to better understand themselves and their worlds, build on their existing strengths, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges. Her lived experience as a high masking, late identified AuDHD, in addition to parenting and caregiving family members with complex needs helps ground her practice in compassion. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. 

As part of her MSW Suzanne completed the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program and also holds an Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Certificate. She currently serves as chair of the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities policy committee and is an active member of the New Hampshire League for an Equitable and Accessible Future and ABLE-NH.
