“I do not leave reviews often, so this one is pretty special to me. Summer is truly one of the most empathetic, attentive, caring, understanding and accommodating therapists. Summer has helped me to become more organized and confident; I’ve started going to the gym more, learning how to approach situations better, and create more structure in my life. Personally, I have had a very hard time finding a therapist in network, let alone a therapist I feel understands me. I always wanted a therapist who was able to engage in conversation with me, as opposed to the experiences I’ve had (with therapists) in the past that have felt very “scripted “. Summer does not sugarcoat anything, she genuinely wants to help her clients and is realistic, yet super caring. I truly do appreciate her as a therapist and hope others get the opportunity to work with her. She is a wonderful person.”

“If you’re looking for a therapist who truly listens and supports, I highly recommend Summer. I’ve been seeing her for over a year, and she’s been instrumental in helping me navigate grief after losing loved ones including my dog. I wasn’t open to therapy at first, but Summer created a safe space where I felt heard and understood. She provides thoughtful feedback and homework that helps me reflect and apply what we discuss.
Beyond grief, she’s helped me work through deeper issues that existed before my losses, guiding me toward real healing and growth. She doesn’t just focus on the present struggle as she helps uncover the root causes.
If you’re hesitant about therapy, I get it as I was too. But Summer makes the process comfortable, constructive, and effective. When people ask how I recovered, my answer is always the same: God and my therapist, Summer.

Getting to know Summer Stevenson
Allow me to introduce myself-my name is Summer Stevenson. I am a Texas native who enjoys traveling the world and learning about new cultures. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and a Master's in Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I believe in creating a safe space for my clients to connect with me, share their issues, and find resolution. With my psychology background, I utilize therapeutic techniques from Gestalt, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, and Aaron Beck. I tailor my sessions to each client and meet them where they are. I enjoy assigning homework after each session and working with clients to create new goals. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work stress, trauma, and PTSD.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I enjoy meeting clients where they are and using a psychodynamic approach to therapy.

Ms. Stevenson is an amazing therapist. I had a rough couple of years and never connected to the therapists I had. Ms. Stevenson is extremely empathetic, and attentive & and that is what makes me feel very seen. I would 100% recommend her.

My first visit was scary since it was first time seeing a therapist. After about less than a year of seeing Summer my mind is at ease. She is able to handle my issues with no judgement which makes it so easy to open up to her. Summer truly knows her work and I’m so grateful to be back in a place where life can feel like a breeze. I’d highly recommend. I’m glad I chose her for my therapist.

I was a patient of Summer’s for several months after I lost someone important in my life and had terrible issues and she was very supportive. Avid listener! Always had suggestions and was ready to follow up. What I loved most about summer she shared herself and made the sessions feel less like therapy but more like a friend who wants to be there for you. I highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Summer for a while now and I’m very satisfied with the quality of treatment. The appointments don’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment but like talking to a friend who can legally give you professional advice haha. Summer is respectful, but also challenges unhelpful ways of thinking. I also appreciate the homework she gives me every now and again that directly relates to topics we spoke about in our sessions. I’d definitely recommend!

I’m so grateful for my experience with Summer. She has an incredible ability to connect with women in their 20s, understanding the unique challenges we face as we transition into adulthood. Her empathy and insight make it easy to discuss issues like relationships, self-confidence, and personal growth. Summer encourages me to build confidence in myself and empowers me to make choices that align with who I am. I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and optimistic. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets what it means to be a young woman navigating life’s complexities, I can’t recommend her enough!

Summer was on time, and punctuality is a big thing for me... she was also very polite and did not make me feel uncomfortable in any way. I love how she did not judge me and I felt safe communicating with her. I think I made a great discussion choosing her.

I have been meeting with Summer since October of 2022. She has been a great help in my growth. She is a great listener and has given me many great suggestions/advice with my problems. She is extremely validating and holds no judgement. All in all a great counselor!

Summer was extremely warm and pleasant. Although I had never seen a therapist, she truly made me feel comfortable to open up in my first session. We were able to get to the root of some of my internal issues and she even assigned me some helpful "homework" to continue to do my inner work before the next session. I would highly recommend Summer as she did a good job at making me feel comfortable and to help me analyze my deep-rooted self limiting doubts and negative self talk. I feel like I have made personal progress since beginning therapy and I could not thank her enough!

Through her thoughtful and personalized approach, she has provided me with a variety of resources and techniques to gain deeper insight into my emotions and develop effective coping skills. As a result, I have noticed significant improvements in my overall well-being and ability to manage life's challenges. I am grateful for Summer's expertise and highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.
