Choose the Support that Best Matches What You’re Experiencing
You do not need to know exactly which service fits before reaching out. These areas of focus often overlap, and we can talk about what you are experiencing during your free consultation.
01
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Motherhood Therapy
Pregnancy and motherhood can bring anxiety, sensory overload, anger, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, relationship changes, and a profound shift in identity. Therapy offers a nonjudgmental place to process what has changed and build support that fits the realities of your life now.
02
Therapy for Women With ADHD & Autism
Support for women with diagnosed, recently diagnosed, suspected, or self-identified ADHD or autism. Together, we can explore masking, burnout, sensory needs, executive-function challenges, emotional regulation, identity, and strategies that work with your brain rather than against it.
03
Parenting Skills Support
Practical, compassionate support for parents navigating emotional reactivity, difficult behavior, sensory needs, family routines, boundaries, co-parenting, blended-family stress, or the demands of raising a neurodivergent child.
04
Trauma Therapy and EMDR
Summer offers trauma-informed therapy and is trained in EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR may be considered for appropriate clients affected by birth trauma, childhood experiences, loss, relationship wounds, or other distressing events. Treatment is collaborative, carefully paced, and individualized.
Ways We Can Meet
Choose a format that works with your location, schedule, comfort, and clinical needs.
In-person Therapy
Meet with Summer in person in the Charleston area for focused, individualized therapy in a calm and supportive setting.
Virtual Therapy
Virtual sessions make therapy more accessible for busy mothers, professionals, caregivers, and clients who prefer meeting from their own space. You must be physically located in South Carolina at the time of your virtual session.
Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk & Talk therapy combines therapeutic conversation with gentle outdoor movement. Some clients find that walking helps them feel less confined and more comfortable talking, reflecting, and reconnecting with their bodies.
During your consultation, we can discuss whether this format is appropriate for your needs, along with accessibility, weather, and the privacy limitations of meeting in an outdoor setting.

Fees, Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits
Individual Therapy Sessions
$150 / 50 minute sessions
Summer Sol Counseling is in network with select Aetna and Cigna plans. Coverage, deductibles, copays, and eligibility vary by individual plan, so please confirm your benefits before beginning therapy.
For plans where Summer is an out-of-network provider, she can provide a superbill when applicable and works with Thrizer to help simplify out-of-network billing. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and cannot be guaranteed.
Check Your Out-of-Network Benefits
If Summer is not in network with your particular insurance plan, you may still have out-of-network mental-health benefits that can help reimburse part of the session cost.
Use the secure Thrizer benefits checker below to review your potential out-of-network benefits, remaining deductible, coinsurance, and estimated reimbursement before scheduling.
Note: The information provided by Thrizer is an estimate and does not guarantee coverage or reimbursement. Your insurance company makes the final determination regarding benefits, claims, and payment. Please contact your insurance plan directly if you need additional confirmation.
A Focused, Practical Approach to Therapy
My approach is warm, relational, neurodivergence-affirming, and trauma-informed, with a focus on nervous-system regulation, self-compassion, and practical, evidence-informed strategies.
Our work is intentional and collaborative. We can make room for the deeper emotions, experiences, and relationship patterns beneath what you are carrying while also developing tools that support you in everyday life.
The goal is not to “fix” you or force you back into an old version of yourself. It is to help you better understand what you need and build a more sustainable way forward.
