About MeSummer Verhines, LCSW
I provide discreet, results-driven psychotherapy for high-achieving individuals navigating life’s most challenging seasons. With a calm, strategic approach and over a decade of specialized experience, I help you move from stress and uncertainty to clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose—without compromising your privacy or your pace.
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2015, holding a bachelor’s degree in psychology (2002) and a master’s degree in social work (2008). Over the years, my work has brought me alongside foster and adoptive parents, executives, caregivers, and seniors—individuals of all ages facing profound transitions and, often, overwhelming responsibilities. I have supported clients through depression, anxiety, grief, symptoms of trauma, and the deep emotional shifts that come with major lifestyle changes.
My specialties include offering nuanced support to adoptive parents, those who have experienced trauma, medical professionals who have experienced trauma, and grief and loss in its many forms. In every engagement, I provide a secure, judgment-free environment where you can explore your thoughts, fears, hopes, and goals with confidence that you are fully heard and understood.
Your time is valuable, and your well-being is essential.
