More about Sumer

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW-CP

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I have developed a strong foundation in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and sleep difficulties. I also work with people facing significant life transitions and the emotional weight that often accompanies them.

My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I believe that therapy works best when you feel truly heard and understood, and when we work together as partners in your healing journey. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build coping skills, process difficult emotions, and move toward greater peace and resilience.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming feelings, adjusting to major changes, or simply seeking support during a difficult season, I'm here to help you find your way forward. I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be authentically yourself.

Taking that first step toward therapy takes real courage—I'm proud of you for considering it.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
