I believe that good counseling, beginning with a natural fit between client and therapist, can be one of the most important and beneficial experiences of our lives. I am passionate about working with my clients and strive always to bring my natural compassion and creativity to each session. I find I am most helpful to clients struggling with loss, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, though I help clients work through other issues as well. Because I am trained in theology as well as psychotherapy, I bring a unique understanding of faith and spirituality to my practice, welcoming clients from any (or no) faith tradition.
Please visit my website www.DrKathrynASummers.com to learn more about me and my work with clients. I welcome all phone and/or email consultations, which are always free-of-charge.
It is always an honor to accompany my clients as they take steps to live fuller, happier, more meaningful lives.
