My name is Kelly Summitt and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have worked with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, personality disorders, and other mental health concerns. I have worked with both adolescents and adults. I work with individuals who want to improve their emotional wellbeing and decrease the impact of trauma or other mental health concerns on their daily life. I enjoy working with individuals collaboratively to meet their goals.

While my approach primarily consists of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, I utilize an eclectic approach and will incorporate other methods into practice to meet an individual’s needs. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship and value input and feedback from the individual I am working with.

Therapy can often be overwhelming initially, so I commend you for taking that first step and reaching out. I look forward to meeting you and working with you on achieving your goals.

I’m Khaliah Marsh, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in school, community mental health, and private practice settings. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, generational trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, narrative, and expressive therapy, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build tools that fit your real life—because therapy isn’t about perfection; it’s about becoming 1% better each day.

I work with children, teens, and adults using a warm, honest, creative, and age-appropriate approach. I’m EMDR-trained and use SFBT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative, expressive, and play therapy to address anxiety and trauma. Clients can expect sessions where conversation, creativity, and practical tools support understanding, confidence, and growth.

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support or know exactly what to say when you arrive. Therapy should give you room to be honest, feel understood, and be challenged without judgment. If you’re ready to understand yourself and make changes that improve your real life, schedule an appointment. Insight matters—but what you do with it changes everything.
