Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I believe meaningful change starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure of how to move forward—and that’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy.

I work with individuals who are navigating challenges like anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and emotional ups and downs. If you often feel like your emotions are hard to manage or situations become overwhelming quickly, you’re not alone, and there are ways to build more balance and control.

My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment, while also helping you develop the skills to better cope, communicate, and move forward with confidence. Therapy with me is not just about talking, it’s about learning practical tools and creating real, lasting change.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, past experiences, or relationship conflict that still affect how you show up in daily life and relationships. Many people reach out for therapy when trauma, depression, grief, or substance use begins to feel too heavy to manage alone. You may feel stuck in patterns of anger, conflict, or emotional pain and want a safe place to talk honestly about what’s going on. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin finding healthier ways to cope and move forward. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, understood, and respected.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying a burden that seems too heavy to manage on your own. You may be struggling with grief, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or emotions that leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. During difficult seasons, it can be hard to know where to start or even believe things can improve. Therapy offers a space to process what you are experiencing, gain clarity, and begin moving forward one step at a time.

Hi, I’m Sally Summers, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for adults, teens, and children, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, PTSD, bipolar and mood disorders, and stress-related burnout.

My background includes a degree in Psychology and two graduate degrees in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care- combining evidence-based treatment with a deeper understanding of how your symptoms, lifestyle, and stressors all connect.

Sessions are collaborative, focused, and designed to give you both clarity and direction. You’ll have space to be open and understood, while also gaining practical tools and a treatment plan that actually fits your day-to-day life.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, difficulty focusing, mood changes, or feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control- not just in the moment, but long-term.
