Go Beyond Coping—Discover Yourself More Deeply
Modern life can leave us feeling fragmented, anxious, or emotionally stuck. While short-term therapy often focuses on managing symptoms, Depth Psychology invites us to ask deeper questions:
Why do I keep repeating these emotional patterns?
What do my dreams mean?
What’s trying to emerge from within me?
Led by Dr. Michael Summerlin, Depth Psychology Sessions are designed for those seeking not just healing—but self-discovery and transformation.
Relating with others through sincere interest and in a caring way has been shown to improve quality of life, while maintaining and managing the energy to do so is a bridge that many of us try to cross. Now that you are taking an active role with your health and well-being, we look forward to helping you discover what's best for you.
I suggest that a primary barrier to therapeutic change for the client who has experienced relational trauma in early childhood is the limited ability to use one's associative memory during interpersonal exploration. - M.W. Summerlin, Ph.D (Dual Origins of Personality).
