Wendy Summer

Wendy helps young and emerging adults discover their own competency and adult-self capacity. She believes that therapy during this developmental period can positively impact the course of a life. Using the neurobiological "growth window" of this life stage, Wendy guides clients to capably experience emotions and grow fully into their best adult selves. Wendy has a relational, wellness-based style and works with clients to create a secure, supportive counseling partnership that allows for safe exploration of issues. She delights in helping young and emerging adults discover their own wisdom and strength. Wendy brings nonjudgment, compassion and humor to her work as well as an unwavering belief in the innate healing capacity of each of us. Wendy has adapted AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) to work with the specific needs of the young and emerging adult population. This approach helps clients shift unwanted or outdated patterns and use the positive power of emotions to inform adult decisions and experience.
