Summer Birmingham

I'm Summer Birmingham and I'm a licensed professional counselor. I hold a masters in clinical counseling from Sam Houston State University and have worked with various populations and in many behavioral health roles throughout my career. I have practiced counseling for over 10 years and have had the privilege of helping many clients find growth, empowerment, healing, and peace.

I have significant experience working with the LGBTQIA+ population and with individuals navigating career and life transitions. I also specialize in working with individuals managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

Through our therapeutic time, I provide an accepting, safe, and non-judgmental emotional and physical space for you to show up as your true and authentic self and unpack your story as it makes sense to you. I specialize in working with individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community who are navigating the nuances of sexuality, personal/ dating relationships, family relationships, religion and spirituality/ religious trauma, and other life traumas. I also specialize in helping individuals manage symptoms of ADHD and in helping clients navigate career and life challenges and changes.

I approach clients in a person-centered manner where you are ultimately the expert and I use modalities as they are useful to you. I am also a firm believer in the healing power of nature in the therapy process and can schedule our sessions as walk/hike and talk time if you prefer. In initial sessions, I approach clients with curiosity and open-mindedness to better understand each individual's unique narrative on life - what is important to them, what is challenging to them, and what it looks like to find healing.
