Getting to know Linda Summers
My name is Dr. Linda Summers, and I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Collinsville, Illinois. I earned my PsyD from the Florida Institute of Technology. Through teletherapy, I work with clients in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I enjoy working with individuals ages 18 and beyond and specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. I use a solution-focused approach informed by each client's past and current life experiences.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies depending on each client's identified problems, therapy goals, and strengths and weaknesses. My therapeutic methods include Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Somatic therapies. I work to enhance my clients' well-being by increasing their self-awareness, identifying their psychological and spiritual needs, and teaching them new strategies for problem-solving.
My focus
I work with clients managing a myriad of life challenges and help them live more fulfilling lives. These challenges often present as depression, anxiety, traumatic memories, physical ailments, relationship distress, and sometimes dissociation. I help clients better understand their thoughts and feelings and increase their ability to effectively manage their emotions.
My communication style
A wise person once said, “They don't care what you know until they know that you care.” Coming to therapy can be hard, and once there, it is essential to feel safe and respected. I create a safe space where clients can openly discuss their dilemmas without fear of judgment. Feeling accepted is a must in a therapeutic relationship.
My journey to therapy
As a young college student, I was mentored by two wonderful professors, also psychologists, who affirmed what I believed about myself: that I was designed to help others grow.
