Who We Are

At Summit Emotional Health, our mission is to help individuals and families feel seen, heard, and understood so they can thrive.

Summit offers a comprehensive, integrative approach to emotional health. Our services include today’s most advanced, evidence-based therapeutic options and range from individual and family therapy to mindfulness practices, psychiatric consultation, psychological assessment, and educational support.

Individual therapy is a personalized, one-on-one process where you work with a trained clinician. Our diverse and inclusive clinicians specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Interpersonal Process Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Parent Training, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

The purpose of group therapy is to help individuals better understand themselves in the context of their relationships, allowing participants to observe others in the group, receive valuable feedback, and benefit from social interactions. We offer groups for High School to College Transition, Parenting, and SMART Recovery.

Our practice offers a range of assessment packages to meet different educational, psychological, and cognitive needs. These packages include options for school admissions, learning evaluations, mental health and psychological assessments, autism spectrum evaluations, and neuropsychological testing.

Psychiatry provides medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions. Our psychiatric providers are available for our talk therapy clients interested in medication evaluation and management. Our therapists and psychiatrists work closely together to ensure each client receives quality emotional healthcare.

Our robust, well-rounded team offers Educational Services including Consultation, Advocacy, Assessment, and Tutoring to help students reach their full potential. Our Educational Consultant specializes in IEP/504 Plan support, school advocacy, and personalized assessments to identify learning needs, strengths, and career pathways.

Our Mindfulness Consultants guide clients in developing mindfulness as a life skill to support stress management, overall well-being, and peak performance. They design individualized mindfulness plans focused on personal growth and self-awareness, tailored for student-athletes, parents, executives, and health practitioners.

Is Summit the Right Fit?

We are here to help you build lasting emotional well-being through compassionate, personalized care.

1 Personalized Care for Every Individual, Couple, and Family

Every client is unique and so is the care we provide. Our highly qualified and collaborative team of clinicians will meet your needs and help you reach your goals.

Not sure where to begin? Call or email us and we’ll walk you through our services and answer any questions you have. We are committed to finding the right provider for you or your family.

2 Finding the Right Fit for You or Your Child From the Start

Getting started with therapy should feel straightforward. Within 1-2 business days, our Care Coordinator will connect with you to learn about your goals, concerns and treatment preferences.

We’ll take time to understand what matters most to you and match you with the clinician who best fits your needs. You’ll also have the option to choose between in-person or virtual appointments.

3 More Choice, More Privacy, and More Control

We’ve elected to be an out-of-network practice because we believe in giving our clients more control of their care. You’re free to choose the clinician who’s the best fit for your goals and values, without being limited by insurance network or session caps.

With no required diagnosis, your therapy stays private and allows us to tailor treatment entirely around your needs, while delivering the highest quality care in one supportive and collaborative space.

4 We Are Guided By One Thing: We’re Here to Help.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and we’re here to make the process as easy as possible. To get started, simply submit a New Client Inquiry Form. Our Care Coordinator will respond within 1-2 business days to schedule your appointment.

Then what? You’ll receive an email from SimplePractice, our client portal, with paperwork to complete before your first session. If you have any questions along the way, you can call or email anytime.

What Clients Say

"I wanted to reach out and tell you that I completed my last exam. I ended up passing all of my finals and all of my classes! Thank you for all of your help over the years and especially this semester. I appreciate everything you do!"

"Our son said his visit reinforced his love for understanding how his mind works. Not only did he walk away informed, he walked away empowered."

"I have been very pleased with the care our daughter has received with you at Summit - we would not have gotten her through high school without your support."

"Thank you so, so very much for all of the work you have done with our son. He is so much more prepared for college than I ever would've imagined."

"You've been nothing but kind and gracious since day one. I'm honestly surprised that my son has even continued to have an interest in counseling over the long term, and it speaks to your expertise and insight."

"Just wanted to thank you for your support. I appreciate your guidance and insight as we try to navigate this difficult time."

"Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our daughter. We would not be here without you."
