Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Michele Summers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to helping adolescents, young adults and parents.

I have over 20 years' experience studying and working with families in both the child welfare and education system.

I'm here to help you or your child through life's transitions with compassion and professionalism.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or have a child that is struggling in school or socially, I'm here to help lessen your worries. If you struggle from a traumatic past, I can help you to let go of that burden. I understand the toll and strain of family separation and alienation and can guide you to mend your heart.

I help and work with individuals to overcome what is holding them back and help them to be the best versions of themselves.

My approach to therapy

I offer a warm, safe and judgement-free space where clients are encouraged to share their stories, explore their emotions and begin the journey toward healing. I am trauma informed and provide a tranquil space for emotional growth to occur.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to be met with empathy, understanding and a genuine desire to connect with you.

My personal approach is integrative as I draw on holistic, cognitive and goal-oriented therapies.

Whether you're looking to manage daily stressors, family dynamics, or to work through past trauma, we'll work together to develop tools that empower you to live your most joyous life.
