MEET OUR THERAPISTS
We believe it’s important to meet people where they are in the healing process.
Summit Family Therapy has a diverse team of specialists who will customize their approach to meet your needs. We will ask a few questions during your first phone call to match you with the right counselor.
Please take a moment to read our counselors’ profiles. Each has different areas of focus and personal strengths. All of our psychotherapists are licensed to independently practice and accept several major insurance plans. If you feel like one of them is a good match for your needs, give us a call to schedule your first session. We can refer you to another therapist in our community if we can’t find the right fit.
Waiting list status was updated last on May 20, 2025, so please contact us to confirm availability.
If you are not sure which counselor to choose, please call our support staff who will assist you and ask a few initial questions. If we cannot help you, we will give you a referral to other providers who can. The most important issue is that you receive the help you need.
