Our therapists provide family therapy in Evanston, IL

My name is Kelly Summitt and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have worked with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, personality disorders, and other mental health concerns. I have worked with both adolescents and adults. I work with individuals who want to improve their emotional wellbeing and decrease the impact of trauma or other mental health concerns on their daily life. I enjoy working with individuals collaboratively to meet their goals.

While my approach primarily consists of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, I utilize an eclectic approach and will incorporate other methods into practice to meet an individual’s needs. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship and value input and feedback from the individual I am working with.

Therapy can often be overwhelming initially, so I commend you for taking that first step and reaching out. I look forward to meeting you and working with you on achieving your goals.

I was born in Krakow, Poland and emigrated to the US as an older child. 

I am well versed in working with trauma using a number of modalities.  

I trust that you will feel safe both virtually and in person.
