Getting to know Jerry Summerfield
While deciding to start therapy, restart therapy, or switch therapists can be overwhelming at times and maybe even a little scary, I applaud you for taking the first step toward your goals of healing and recovery. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself. I want to be your champion and walk alongside you in your journey to discovering that you already have what it takes to overcome the obstacles in your way; you just need a guide to help you with the discovery process. I work with clients who are dealing with mood disorders and anxiety issues, anger management, ADHD, PTSD, substance abuse, LGBT+, and Men's issues, among other mental health issues.
Therapy is about developing healthy coping skills to manage life and developing genuine communication skills. I strive to be challenging in session, but kind and compassionate. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership; we will work in tandem to help you achieve your goals. I ask that my patients be open and forthcoming as their comfort grows in session. Therapy sessions are a judgment-free zone; it is a place to be your genuine self. My specialties are in Trauma-Informed Care, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions. I am accepting patients for in-person and telehealth sessions in Indiana.
Have you found previous therapy services to be lacking, non-challenging, or minimal progress made? Have you struggled finding a good fit? Or have you regressed to old habits? Then I want to work with you. I find many of my patients have been through several therapists before we work together. My clients have homework in between sessions to advance their growth. Those who implement and practice the skills learned in therapy find that they make considerable progress toward their goals. Other areas of concern that I can assist with are work/life balance, stress management, career counseling needs, and conflict resolution skills.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I prioritize open and honest communication with my patients. I tend to be straightforward. I challenge my patients so that they can examine, refine, and redefine. Space is given when necessary for reflection and processing.
I have always been a helper. Whether it was with friends, family, or coworkers, I found that I was the go-to person when others had problems. Maybe someone needed an ear to bend to help them verbally walk through an issue, or maybe another person was stumped with what they needed to do next with a problem. Even people that I just met would tell me their whole life story as if I were a long-time friend. This is what led me to become a therapist. I wanted to help those who were struggling and had no other options to help them through their problems.
We will work together to identify the goals you want to address in therapy. Progress markers will be established to demonstrate your growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our initial session, I will ask a lot of questions. We will talk about why you are seeking therapy and your personal background. We will also look at mental health, family, medical, spiritual, sexuality, education, and work history. We will also start to form our treatment plan by identifying the goals you want to accomplish and how we are initially going to work toward getting you there.
