Therapists in California

As a Board Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my journey began in the ICU, where I gained invaluable experience caring for patients with critical medical needs. However, I always knew that my true passion lay in mental health. Recognizing the profound impact mental well-being has on every aspect of life, I pursued my advanced degree in psychiatry to better serve individuals struggling with emotional and psychological challenges. I firmly believe that mental health is the cornerstone of overall well-being. Together, we can work to ensure you achieve mental and emotional balance, paving the way for a healthier, more fulfilling life. I am excited to collaborate with each of you on this journey toward mental wellness, and I am committed to supporting you in every way I can. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my mission is to provide comprehensive and individualized care that extends beyond traditional medicinal treatments. Recognizing that every individual is different, I believe in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient, as a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for optimal mental health care. Together, we will work to "Revive Your Mind and Soul" by addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms. By integrating both traditional and alternative treatment options, we will strive to enhance your mental well-being in a holistic and balanced way. I invite you to begin this journey with me, where we focus on healing without labeling emotions or limiting our understanding of mental health.

"The purpose of life is to discover our own inherent nobility and to help others discover theirs." – Abdu'l-Bahá. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of managing mental health from a young age. This personal journey highlighted the profound power of therapy and inspired me to help others achieve similar transformations. Therapy, to me, is more than a profession—it’s my calling. Every step I take alongside my clients reaffirms the transformative power of hope, healing, and the therapeutic relationships. I have extensive experience and training in treating depression, anxiety disorders, other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. Healing isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about feeling safe enough to face it, embrace it, and grow from it. Much like a rose blooms despite the thorns, I believe in your ability to rise through challenges and thrive. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can explore, build resilience, and move confidently toward the life you envision.

Hey there! I’m Summer and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, serving all of California virtually through Telehealth. In my practice, I take a collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based approach toward healing. Honoring each client’s personal needs and intersecting identities is one of my top priorities and creates a foundation for my work. Through incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodiment, I empower you to explore and identify the patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you. Being a therapist brings me so much joy, and I feel that it’s an honor and a privilege to walk with people during their most vulnerable moments.

I am one of the few neuropsychologists in San Francisco Bay Area. I have completed over 4300 assessments in the last 22 years since I was licensed in 2002. I am also a medical staff member at St. Mary's /UCSF McAuley Institute Adolescent Inpatient Unit. I can test in Spanish and French. I also speak Hindi and Urdu. I love working with children adn teens, and helping them receive the accommodations they deserve; I specialize in ADHD, focusing /concentration difficulties, and Processing Speed/Receptive Auditory Processing Skills difficulties. I also can help students with anxiety and depression and trauma. The assessment is usually six hours of testing, and then I score and write up a report , good for three years, and have a feedback with the family, and then, for no fee, have a feedback with the school Learning department. The head of the LD department writes up a one to two page summary for the SAT/ACT/IB or SSAT Board, in order to request accommodations, such as extra time, smaller testing rooms, etc.

I primarily focus on providing psychotherapy to men seeking to gain control in their lives and are searching for their purpose. The modern man has to face obstacles and difficulties in life that did not exist with previous generations and navigating through all these roadblocks alone can be extremely difficult and sometimes traumatizing.  I have partnered with Mentaya to help you save money on therapy.
