Susan Tran

Hello! I’m Susan Tran, the office manager at Mindful Life Counseling. It’s my role to ensure that everyone who connects with us feels both welcomed and valued.

After earning my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Michigan State University, my career has taken several turns—from HR to software quality assurance, and now to office management. Each shift reflects my natural inclination to grow and adapt, a journey that I’m continuing at Mindful Life Counseling.

I am a queer Asian American, fluent in Chinese, Vietnamese, and English. My diverse background and lived experiences shape how I manage our office, ensuring that our clients and clinicians receive the support they need. I apply my skills to improve our practice’s operations, making sure our environment is welcoming and effective for everyone.

At Mindful Life, I have found a place where I feel both seen and included, and it is my goal to ensure that every client feels that same sense of belonging and understanding when they contact us.

Moving from the tech industry to Mindful Life Counseling was a significant change, driven by my desire to be part of a community that values inclusivity and understands the importance of mental health. At Mindful Life, I have found a place where I feel both seen and included, and it is my goal to ensure that every client feels that same sense of belonging and understanding when they contact us.

Outside of work, I enjoy painting—especially characters from my favorite Anime series. I spend most of my free time with my fiancé and our long-haired dachshund, Frank.
