Trying to show up for your children can seem overwhelming when you're also trying to manage your own everyday stressors - you're feeling run down. It's exhausting trying to make sure everyone's cups are full when your own gets emptier every day. You're back at square one with things you were making progress on pre-pandemic, and things that were a struggle before now are bolded, underlined and highlighted. Your kids' developmentally normal - but challenging - behaviors are triggering in you the unhealthy relational patterns from your own upbringing that you've been intentionally trying to leave behind.

Perhaps you struggle with important relationships or feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or numb. Maybe it feels like you’re missing out or haven’t found your path in life. Some changes can be difficult to make without professional support. Seeking therapy is a sign of strength. It's here that you discover a step-by-step path to personal growth and making the changes you want.

You don’t have to go through it alone anymore. Are you tired of feeling stuck, stressed, and overwhelmed in your personal life, at work, or in your relationships? Perhaps you want more from life but feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or past traumatic experiences. Or maybe you find yourself in a cycle of getting into the same unhealthy relationships that leave you drained and disappointed. When you look around you may notice that many people are suffering in silence – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Together, we can help you heal, transform, gain confidence, and move toward the fulfilling life you’ve always wanted.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Summer Stevenson. I am a Texas native that enjoys traveling the world and learning new cultures. I believe in creating a safe space for my clients to connect with me, share their issues and find a resolution. With my psychology background, I will utilize therapeutic techniques by Gestalt, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck. I tailor my sessions to each client and meet them where they are. I enjoy assigning homework after each session and working with clients to create new goals. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Work Stress, Trauma and PTSD.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgemental and safe place where my client can feel open and trust me. From my previous work background I have learned that having a therapist you can not only trust but have a personal connection with is very important. I believe every individual has their own unique experiences, trauma, and issues and I would like to be that safe place for someone to unravel these experiences and together work towards a positive healthier journey. I strive to always validate my client's feelings and have an open empathetic mindset during my sessions which I believe is very important.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenge. If you are looking for a person-centered space to explore how to become the best version of yourself, then you've come to the right place!

Therapy often goes into areas that were likely too difficult to look at on one’s own. People have different methods of avoiding this discomfort: drugs, engagement in risky or soul-emptying sexual practices, over-working, over-eating, over-thinking. Even yoga and meditation can deceptively serve to block out pain under the guise of “being in the moment.” Rather than encourage clients to aggressively get rid of these methods, I help them gently explore the pain or fear that made such habits necessary. I pay careful attention to ensure that clients feel safe to go through this vulnerable experience--and come out on the other side.

Are you feeling a diminished sense of self-confidence? Are you feeling that the way you view yourself is keeping you from experiencing life fully and/or causing you suffering? Are you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, fears, anger, impaired concentration, difficulties at work, school or home? If you answered "yes" to any question, you may be reacting to trauma.

Therapy is like any other relationship - it's important to find someone whose values and approach resonate with you. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. I see my role as that of a non-judgemental companion, someone who holds space and reflects you back to you. I am here to bear witness to your journey without judgment. My hope is to support you in exploring how the stories we are told, and tell ourselves, inform our worldview - our sense of self, relationships, and even our mood.

I have an extensive clinical experience as the Clinical Social Worker working with elderly, adults, couples, teenagers, children and their families. I help my clients to overcome anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problem, self-esteem and many other issues. I have worked with people from many different backgrounds. I am dedicated to my clients' sense of well being and strive to connect in the most practical and effective way to facilitate change. This work experience have helped me to develop solid professional skills working with a diverse group of children and families with various psychological and educational problems.

I have a servant's heart when assisting others in the pursuit of their full potential. As a psychotherapist and life coach, I view myself as a catalyst for change in my clients' lives. I pro-actively utilize a culturally sensitive, solution-focused approach that is directed toward developing and achieving your vision of possible solutions to your personal life struggles. Sessions are offered both virtually and in a private office setting that allows for social distancing.

I work with adolescents and adults on a wide range of challenges from general counseling and adjustment issues (feeling "stuck") to more clinical issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual issues. I focus on LGBT clients, particularly in the area of transgender identity, but have a diverse client base overall. I have experience working with clients that have issues related to polyamory, the kink community, and navigating these issues within relationships. I also have interns and supervisees that can see sliding scale clients from various populations.

We all have times where we hit roadblocks that get in the way of finding balance and peace in our work, our relationships and our health. These experiences may distort the perceptions we have of ourselves; bringing up feelings of fear, frustration, loneliness and burnout. Through exploration and introspection, we can identify your obstacles and develop realistic tools to manage stressful circumstances, allowing you to create the life you want.

Couples, Single parents and Co-parents are welcome! I enjoy working with adults, young adults and teens to identify and address concerns that develop as they navigate through systems and communities.

As a licensed psychotherapy I work with individuals, couples, families and adolescents (13+). My work with families and couples focuses on lack of communication, life transitions & changes, loss of intimacy and learning coping skills to regulate emotional and behavioral issues that have been identified. I specialize in adolescents and adults struggling with self-esteem, identity formation, relationships issues, anxiety and depression.

My aim is to create a warm and compassionate space to meet you where you are and ultimately lead you to the path of healing and self exploration. In our work together, not only will we challenge the obstacles in your life, but also will work to highlight and expand on your already existing strengths. Whether you are looking to challenge behaviors that no longer serve you, poor self image, or begin working through past traumas, we will work together collaboratively to help you grow. I firmly believe that you are the author in your story and want to honor and explore your values, needs and wants in the therapeutic environment.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or have been in therapy many times before, it’s so important to find a therapist that feels like the right fit for you. I want to personally acknowledge the courage, intentionality, and investment you have placed in yourself in deciding to seek support in the form of counseling/therapy. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, caregiving, chronic illness and pain, loss, stress and trauma related symptoms, or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.
