About Natalie
Natalie Summit is a licensed professional counselor with nearly three decades of experience. She focuses on self esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. Natalie approaches each person with respect and straightforward care. She aims to listen first and help people find practical next steps.
Her earlier work began in community mental health and later moved into law enforcement mental health. She spent 20 years supporting officers and community members through crisis intervention before retiring from the agency in 2019. Those years shaped her ability to respond calmly in high-stress situations and to guide people through immediate challenges.
Natalie uses several therapy approaches in session, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. She blends these methods to fit the person in front of her, focusing on skills, values, and clear choices rather than labels.
Work in her practice often includes coping skills for anxiety, strategies for addiction recovery, processing trauma and abuse, and rebuilding self-worth after loss or relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complicated grief. Natalie emphasizes practical tools and steady support during transitions.
Sessions are offered via telehealth to accommodate busy schedules. Her background working with first responders informs her calm, direct style and her focus on safety and problem solving. She invites people who are ready to be heard and to take steps toward change to reach out and begin the matching process.
