As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I recognize that taking the first step toward seeking therapy can be difficult, which is why I want to help clients feel comfortable discussing some of life's most challenging topics. As I near the end of my education in Counseling Psychology, I have honed my experience in trauma-informed care. I have experience in working with individuals across the lifespan, but have focused my recent work with adults aged 18+ with extensive trauma and anxiety.

________________________________________________

Hi, I’m Sally Summers, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for adults, teens, and children, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, PTSD, bipolar and mood disorders, and stress-related burnout.

My background includes a degree in Psychology and two graduate degrees in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care- combining evidence-based treatment with a deeper understanding of how your symptoms, lifestyle, and stressors all connect.

Sessions are collaborative, focused, and designed to give you both clarity and direction. You’ll have space to be open and understood, while also gaining practical tools and a treatment plan that actually fits your day-to-day life.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, difficulty focusing, mood changes, or feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control- not just in the moment, but long-term.

I get it—feeling stuck in the same old patterns, craving deeper connections, and wondering how to even begin to break free can be exhausting. If you’re anything like the people I work with (and honestly, like I once was myself), you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking, “Something has to change... but what?” That’s where I come in.

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
