Heather Summers, LMHC
About me
I am licensed in Florida with over 12 years of therapeutic experience. I've spent most of my career in the non-profit arena so I've worked with a variety of people, with a wide range of mental health issues, in various types of settings. The majority of my time has been spent working with trauma survivors and those with depression and/or anxiety disorders. I utilize an eclectic mix of theories to help clients & my therapeutic approach reflects that. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) but sometimes another approach (DBT, MI,etc.) is more appropriate.
I meet my clients where they are & work to build rapport. I provide active listening in a supportive, non-judgmental, & empathic environment so clients can address their issues & concerns; while also being able to challenge them when appropriate.
I've found that I'm passionate about empowering people & helping them become their whole & authentic self. I think it's so rewarding to help people work through difficult situations & offer some hope for the future. If you're ready to get started on this journey together, I encourage you to reach out!
