Wendy Summer, LPC, has a practice dedicated to the unique needs of clients ages 18 to 40. She has made it her life's work to help young and emerging adults discover their own competency and capacity.

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.
