I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with people who feel lost—whether that shows up as uncertainty, disconnection, chaos, or a sense of not quite fitting in your own life. Together, we create space to slow down, make sense of and manage challenges in your life whether that’s in men’s issues (such as communication, emotional expression, identity, relationship & societal expectations), women’s issues (such as people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, expectations from others), relationships, parenting, career changes, and patterns of self-defeating choices. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on building self-acceptance, clarity, and trust in yourself as you find your way forward.

I have experience working with adults and teens navigating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, as well as substance use and recovery. I use evidence-based approaches to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe in humor and humanity in the therapy space as our therapeutic relationship is essential to making things work!

Hi, there! My name is Summer, and I'm so glad you're here.

I have over 12 years of experience in a variety of settings, including universities, private practice, hospitals, and schools. I have specialized training in maternal mental health, ADHD, and parenting. I earned a Doctorate in Social Work from Tulane University and my Bachelor's in psychology and Master's in social work are both from Case Western Reserve University.

Your brain and body are exhausted from overthinking, spiraling, and stressing about things out of your control. You're over the sleepless nights, frustration and letting your mind completely take over your life. It's time shut down all the noise and begin truly living. Therapy with me is both real talk& hype woman. I'm a licensed professional counselor in SC & PA who specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and stress management. Healing happens when you feel heard, in a space to be the real you without fear of judgment. A space to be validated and reconnect with the most empowered version of you.

With over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families across the lifespan in navigating challenges related to neurodevelopmental disorders, mood and behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My practice integrates both therapeutic intervention and comprehensive psychological assessment to promote diagnostic clarity and guide effective treatment planning. Throughout my career, I have provided services in diverse settings including community mental health centers, educational institutions, hospitals, and outpatient treatment facilities. I have continued my commitment to client-centered care in private practice through telehealth services to enhance accessibility and continuity of care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where every person feels heard, understood, and empowered to take the next steps toward well-being.

I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. If you're a couple, college student, industry leader, entrepreneur, or athlete, schedule a session with with me today!

I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with 23 years of counseling experience with adults of all ages, from late-adolescence and across the lifespan.

My practice focuses on helping individuals develop personally meaningful ways of navigating anxiety and depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, time-of-life transitions, and identity development. These therapeutic partnerships often involve identity-affirming explorations of racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA, and neuro-diversity matters within clients’ lives.

Helping clients feels safe, regarded, and at ease... I work hard to understand what each individual needs from me to feel these things at the forefront of our relationship.

I feel really confident in my empathic attunement toward clients as I authentically connect with each individual. I prioritize creating a shared space of sincerity as clients begin telling me their stories.

And what an honor it is, helping clients share their narratives in a manner that highlights their courage and resilience, as well as their yearning and needs.

As we begin to explore and understand all of these things, we hone in on each client’s inner resources and external supports — identifying these things and figuring out how each individual client can feel most empowered in themselves.

If you're in your 20s or 30s and life feels harder to manage than it should—whether that’s ADHD affecting work or relationships, grief that won’t lift, the weight of new parenthood, or a season that’s pushed you past your usual coping—I’d love to talk.

With over 30 years of experience, I still genuinely enjoy this work and the people I meet. I believe everyone has real strengths, and therapy can help clear the path so you can actually use them.

I’m warm and affirming, and I won’t avoid the hard stuff. I’m direct without being critical, so you’ll always know where I stand—and that I’m on your side.
