Susan Summers
Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
We all have times in our lives that bring us to our knees and that's when it's important to reach out for qualified, compassionate help.
My deep passion is helping clients learn to cope and heal from painful losses and trauma and find real hope. Whether your issue is a chronic illness, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse or a combination of all of these, I am experienced and glad to guide and walk with you through it. There is always hope for things to improve, for life to have meaning and purpose again, and to regain a healthier and truer sense of who you are, no matter your circumstances.
