Susan L. Herrmann brings over three decades of experience dismantling systems that fragment relationships and limit human potential. As a practicing therapist she questions whose voices are centered in traditional approaches to healing, education, and human development. 

For over twelve years, Susan directed a global service-learning program in Vietnam supporting Agent-Orange affected communities, where she witnessed how Western-centric models often miss the mark across cultural contexts. This experience fundamentally shifted her understanding of effective facilitation and curriculum design. 

Informed by these experiences, her approach to teaching and facilitation is holistic and unflinchingly direct. She asks questions others avoid, creating fiercely compassionate spaces where participants examine not just what they're learning, but whose knowledge systems are privileged and whose voices are missing.  

As a therapist, Susan works extensively with professionals, executives, and educators grappling with existential questions about their impact. Specializing in trauma, grief, and the challenges of living authentically within oppressive systems, Susan helps people reclaim their sovereignty and restore kinship with their intuitive wisdom. Known as a "Licensed Clinical Miracle Worker," she is commended by students, clients, and colleagues for her showing the way to bridging the gap between stated values and actual practice. 

Susan’s passion is sharing wisdom earned through cross-cultural work, deep listening, and fearless inquiry into what it means to serve with integrity while co-creating a future rooted in justice and reverence for all life.
