“An excellent listener, grounding, focused, and transparent. Takes time and leaves room for you to move at your pace. Asks great questions that take you where you need to go. Can't wait for more sessions!”

“Kevin is an excellent therapist: approachable, wise, and extremely professional. I hesitated about therapy because of lukewarm experiences in the past. Kevin isn’t the type to simply validate me or my thought patterns. He quickly spots inconsistencies and unhelpful loops. He is direct, grounding, and nonjudgmental. I appreciate his skills-focused approach that emphasizes action and reframing interpretations (classic CBT). He is punctual, reliable, and clear in communication, and I always feel respected. In our work, Kevin has helped me identify concrete patterns that keep me stuck. For example, relying on external validation and dismissing the small progress I’m making. He also uses memorable metaphors (e.g., repairing a boat before it can dock well, or a tree with roots and branches) that make psychological concepts stick and easier to apply in real life. If you’re on the fence about therapy, don’t hesitate, just reach out to Kevin and get the support you deserve.”

Getting to know Kevin Michael Sustad

Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply exhausted, I offer a supportive and collaborative space where you can begin to feel more in control of your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my therapy sessions, I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Supportive Therapy to help clients feel empowered in addressing their challenges. I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental and safe space where you can share openly and honestly. My goal is to foster understanding and trust so that, together, we can work toward your goals with confidence and clarity.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on your goals. We begin by checking in on how you’ve been feeling and reviewing progress or challenges since our last session. From there, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to your current concerns. I incorporate evidence-based tools, like CBT strategies, mindfulness, or skill-building exercises tailored to your identified treatment goals to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I’ve only done an intake session, but Kevin made me feel totally comfortable and at ease, even when topics got heavy. Through the course of his questioning, I talked about topics from my childhood that I hadn’t thought about in years. As I processed those memories, he remained attentive and gave me time and space to articulate myself without making me feel insecure. Overall a great experience, and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Kevin is extremely professional, non judgmental and made me feel very comfortable discussing different topics that brought me to therapy. I’m very happy to have found him and definitely recommend him!

Kevin is by far the best therapist I have ever had! He truly listens and remembers crucial details and gives great advice. I am very thankful for having him as my therapist. He has provided excellent suggestions for how to improve my life and how to feel better about myself. He has solid analogies and understands all different unique problems one may be going through.

Kevin is great! He is a wonderful listener and always provides helpful ways of looking at the issues I bring up. He has a great skill for examining complex issues and simplifying them in a way that doesn't minimize their impact, but helps you address them in a more direct manner and get to the core. I have had therapists in the past that I felt I always needed to bring up to speed in order to continue our sessions, but Kevin always seems to remember events and people I discuss. It makes me feel that I am being actively listened to and has allowed us to build trust as provider and patient. He has helped me explore ways to engage in self-care, establish healthy boundaries, and approach various things in my life that I have identified as areas I want to address. Highly recommend!

I have never had a mental health provider show such genuine care and interest quite like Kevin. The way he is able to help me outline and work through scenarios has greatly improved my day-to-day life.

July 30, 2025Casey S.Verified patientVideo visit

Kevin is very professional and knowledgeable. I have a zoom meeting with him weekly to discuss my personal goals and my accomplishments towards that week. He is goal oriented and challenges me towards personal improvement. I have seen a tremendous difference in myself in just a short time.
