Summer Hood, LMHC

My approach to therapy is eclectic, utilizing elements from humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral theories. In my practice, clients are an active participant in their treatment, in which I work collaboratively to help them along in their therapeutic journey and in their process of emotional healing. Through warmth, dedication, empathy, and understanding, I am passionate about helping clients make a real change in their lives. Additionally, I trained in Indigenous Tools for Living, which is an approach focused on considering the whole person, including their intergenerational ways of knowing and being. It is integral for me to utilize this approach when assisting clients on their journey of personal development to help clients create a strong sense of connection to their sense of purpose and meaning. When utilizing Indigenous Tools for Living, I am committed to healing complex trauma while bringing the core values of various communities and their traditions to the room.
