About Susan Grelock-Yusem

I am a depth-based ecopsychologist interested in the connection between our psychological health and our connection to the natural world. I have over 15 years experience working in communications with values-based organizations within the regenerative food space and in conservation.

Susan Grelock-Yusem, PhD, is an independent researcher trained in depth psychology, with an emphasis on community, liberation, and eco-psychologies. Her work centers around interconnection and encompasses regenerative food systems, the arts and conservation.
