About Dr. Linda Summers

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania with over 30 years of experience working with people of all ages with a myriad of life concerns. These concerns have included depression, anxiety, relationship distress, parenting problems, and life adjustment issues to name a few. I have also treated people of all ages who have experienced childhood and/or adult physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. Having spent the past 14 years working with veterans and active-duty military members and their dependents, I am an expert in treating military related traumas. My therapy style is warm, friendly, and affirming. Every human being deserves to be treated respectfully and without judgment. My clinical approach is a blend of Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies, but many other strategies and styles are evident in my eclectic approach. From our first meeting I will work to help you to identify the change you are seeking and the approach you will use to accomplish your goals. Change can be hard, but extremely rewarding. I hope you are ready to begin your healing journey. If so, I would be honored to accompany you.
