About me

Shauna Summers, LCPC

I approach therapy from a curious, strengths-based perspective.

   I work to provide a safe, non-judgmental, culturally “safe space” where you can share, we can identify what isn’t working, and we can utilize best-practice interventions in therapy. Curiosity about why we do what we do is helpful when we need to create different habits. Therefore, in therapy, we work on cultivating a sense of curiosity so we can identify what isn’t working in your life anymore.

I believe when we strengthen what we are already good at, we reduce the impact of our life challenges. When we integrate newly learned skills with existing skills, we tend to feel more hopeful about our future and increase our self-confidence. These changes can lead to adopting new ways of coping, learning how to view our challenges from new perspectives, and to use all of this to live your best

In our early sessions, we will be getting to know each other.

I will have questions for you and I encourage you to ask me questions. 

Successful therapy happens incrementally. You can expect to discover more about who you are, what you are needing, and how to let go of things that no longer serve you.
