Nicolas Susac

executive functioning coach

As a coach at HPC, I work with students on their emotional, organizational and personal management skills. My coaching sessions can take many different forms, from meeting virtually to going out into the world and putting the skills into practice. I’ve found that creating a non-judgmental, connected space, allows clients to feel free to be themselves and embrace growth. I believe that it's from this place that my clients can strive towards meeting their academic, developmental and emotional goals.    

I was recruited to play Division III soccer at the University of Redlands, and after a year there, transferred to the University of San Francisco to pursue a BA in Philosophy. I was the Assistant Manager of the men’s house at the Camden Center, a transitional living residence also in San Francisco. I offered day to day emotional support to residents and coordinated care with their therapists and doctors. I also have experience in school settings, having worked at Mill Valley Middle School where I provided coaching and counseling to students. I facilitated kinesthetic de-escalation techniques, supported students academically and helped them develop executive functioning skills. I currently offer similar assistance to students virtually across the country through a non-profit organization, Openseat.   

In addition to coaching, I plan to pursue my Masters in Clinical Psychology starting in Fall 2026, emphasizing my desire to work with children and adolescents. I also enjoy surfing, running, listening to music and eating good food.
