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.
Unresolved childhood trauma, neglect, and attachment wounds can turn into long-lasting mental health conditions in adulthood.
As a mental health professional with many years of biomedical research experience, I have a deeper understanding of the neuro-developmental mechanisms underlying trauma, addiction, and mental health disorders. I specialize in diagnosing and treating complex traumas, attachment disorders, addictive behaviors, Autism, and personality disorders.
Welcome. If you have been feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, mood swings, or trouble focusing, you are not alone. Maybe your teen is struggling, or you are exhausted from trying to manage symptoms on your own. When your mood, energy, or attention feel out of control, daily life can feel harder than it should. I offer a supportive, judgment free space where your concerns are taken seriously.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner serving clients in Tennessee. I specialize in helping clients manage depression, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, PTSD, substance abuse, and bipolar disorder with a combination of medication and therapy.

I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.
With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I bring both deep expertise and genuine compassion to every client I work with. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, alcohol and substance use, and relationship challenges.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel truly heard. My approach is rooted in warmth, patience, and a deep respect for your unique story. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences, struggling with how you cope day to day, or feeling disconnected in your relationships, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Memphis, TN
Finding ADHD therapists in Memphis starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with focus, organization, emotional regulation, time management, and routines through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD and skills-based support. Psychiatrists can help with diagnosis and medication management. Some people use therapy, medication management, or both. It can also help to look for a therapist with experience in adult ADHD, pediatric ADHD, anxiety, depression, or school and work-related concerns, depending on what you want to address.
Memphis has a solid mental health care community, but the right fit still depends on practical details like location, appointment times, and care format. An in-person therapist near Midtown, East Memphis, downtown, or another part of the city may work well if the office fits your routine. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially if you want more flexibility or prefer to search beyond nearby offices. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety or depression, so reading therapist bios can help you see whether a therapist lists related specialties, explains their approach clearly, and offers a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare options, choose a therapist who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
