At Insight Online, we are committed to creating supervision groups that feel thoughtful, clinically meaningful, and well-held. As our supervision community continues to grow, we are pleased to welcome Susan Young as an additional group supervisor.
Susan will be supporting select group supervision sessions beginning in May 2026. Some members of the Insight Online community may already know Susan from when she previously covered groups during vacation time. We are excited to formally introduce her in this new role.
Susan brings more than 20 years of experience as a therapist, along with a strong background in psychodynamic, attachment-based, and relational approaches. Her clinical framework closely aligns with the foundation of Insight Online’s supervision work, while also bringing her own depth, perspective, and experience to the group learning process.
A Thoughtful Expansion of Group Supervision
The decision to bring Susan into the supervision community is rooted in care and continuity.
As group supervision continues to evolve, it is important that each group remains spacious, reflective, and supportive. Susan’s involvement allows us to continue offering meaningful supervision while giving participants the benefit of fresh eyes, additional clinical perspective, and a strong relational presence.
This transition is not intended to disrupt the group experience. Instead, it is meant to support it.
Susan and the Insight Online team are committed to making the shift as smooth, thoughtful, and supportive as possible for all participants.

About Susan Young
Before beginning her career as a psychotherapist, Susan spent 15 years in finance. She later trained at The Centre for Training in Psychotherapy, a training institute specializing in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, and graduated in 2012.
Susan has been working in the field of psychotherapy for more than 20 years. Over the past seven years, she has focused more deeply on clinical supervision, psychotherapy training, supervisee support, and curriculum development.
Her clinical orientation is grounded in psychodynamic, attachment, and relational frameworks. These approaches support a thoughtful and reflective supervision style that invites curiosity, emotional depth, and clinical growth.
