Hi, my name is Summer Hamilton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I have been practicing for 4 years. I have a desire to meet clients where they are as they navigate through the various challenges of life. I hope to create a space that is safe, inviting, allows you to openly express yourself, and helps create balance in your life.
During a first session with me, I review highlights from the intake paperwork and then dive into what brings you to therapy. At some point, we will discuss some of your background information, a significant life overview, interests, and what your daily life looks like. We will conclude by setting goals, determining frequency of sessions, and answering any questions you may have.
I am great at thinking in the both/and mindset which allows me to hold space for your experience while also shining light on other factors that may be at play which creates a more well-rounded perspective and space for understanding and growth. Helping clients see themselves/their lives in different ways and providing the space and guidance to navigate the changes they want to see has become my passion.
I primarily use CBT but I also pull from other methods such as Brief-Solution Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Family Systems. I hope to create a space that is safe, inviting, allows you to openly express yourself, and helps create balance in your life.
