Counseling

Shauna Summers, LCPC

Welcome to Ironwood Counseling, I am Shauna Summers, a compassionate and experienced licensed counselor. I work with individuals (18+), couples, and families regarding relationships that could be better (ie: romantic, work, friends, parent/child), regaining balance during and after a significant life transition, working through past trauma, ADD/ADHD life-skill assessment and skill-building, and coping with anxiety/overwhelm in all the ways it shows up in our lives. Start your journey to a healthier, happier life today with Ironwood Counseling.

How can I help you?

I am a licensed counselor who approaches therapy from a curious, strengths-based perspective.

My approach to therapy

I equip and empower clients to be curious, flexible, and grow by letting go of the old and grabbing ahold of the new. I help translate the outside world for people who have outgrown the coping mechanisms they have been using and are feeling the pain point. I find that when we experience significant life transitions we sometimes ask, “who am I with or without ___?” Exploring how we have changed and grown is critical for boundary management, healthy relationships, effective communication, and work/life balance to name a few.
