Kimberly Summerville

I am a dedicated provider with a master's degree in social work and over two decades of experience in the field. Currently, I serve as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Parkland Health, specializing in Crisis Intervention and trauma-informed care. My professional journey includes 18 years with the Department of Family Protective Service, where I worked closely with kinship caregivers, adoptive and foster parents, and children. My practice is grounded in empathy and a deep commitment to supporting individuals through challenging times. I am passionate about providing personalized care and helping my clients navigate their unique mental health journeys.

My approach to working with clients is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a deep commitment to their well-being. I specialize in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care, which allows me to provide tailored support to individuals experiencing acute stress and trauma. My style is collaborative and client-centered, ensuring that each person's unique needs and circumstances guide our therapeutic process. I focus on creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and challenges openly. Together, we work towards healing, resilience, and achieving meaningful progress in the client's mental health journeys.

Clients can expect to leave our sessions with a greater sense of clarity, empowerment, and resilience. I set clear, achievable goals tailored to each individual's unique circumstances, focusing on practical outcomes that foster lasting change. In our supportive and non-judgmental environment, clients will feel safe to explore their emotions and challenges openly. By the end of our time together, the client can expect to have developed effective coping strategies, a deeper understanding, and a renewed sense of hope. My goal is to equip clients with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges confidently and to continue their mental health journey with strength and self-compassion.
