Ashley Summers, MA, MLP

I prioritize building a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients because I believe that this promotes a healing environment where change and growth are possible. I approach therapy with a sense of curiosity, warmth, and honesty in hopes that clients feel understood, supported, and empowered during their unique therapeutic journey. I understand that for many individuals past experiences impact present concerns, which is why I strive to help clients gain improved self-awareness and rediscover personal strengths.

I have been working in the field with my master’s degree since 2017. I earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Western Michigan University. My education and training emphasize developmental and relational patterns, and I seek to understand these patterns to help clients improve their relational dynamics and manage emotional distress.

Prior to receiving my master’s degree, I worked in an educational and social service setting connecting children and their families with local resources. Upon completion of my master’s degree, I continued working with children and their families but in a new role where I provided support for their behavioral and mental health needs while simultaneously starting to offer therapy in the private practice setting. My private practice includes working with children three and up, adolescents, and adults that are struggling with anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma, or family challenges.

I am a Master’s Limited Psychologist (MLP) in the state of Michigan. As an MLP, I am under the direct supervision of Julie M. Davis, Ph.D., LP. To schedule an appointment, please call the main office at 269-459-1818. Please know that I am currently doing both in-person and telehealth therapy.
