Summer Taetzsch

Therapist

Virtual • California


I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Los Gatos

Searching for therapists in Los Gatos starts with finding someone whose background fits what you want help with. Therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other approaches that may align with what you are looking for.

Los Gatos is a smaller market, so nearby in-person openings may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you see a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Los Gatos can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you are ready.
