summer sandhu, Student Intern

I aim to curate a safe space where you feel seen and empowered to explore your inner and outer worlds free of judgement. Together, we will become curious about your story and work through whatever it is that brings you to the therapy room. I believe you are the expert in your own experiences. We will collaborate on goal-setting and come up with creative pathways forward that feel authentic to your journey. If you feel like something isn’t working, that’s okay. We will talk through the roadblocks and pivot accordingly. The lens I practice from is systemic, meaning we look at the interconnectedness of aspects of your life and the effect they have on one another. We will venture into areas you believe are important to your development and growth and do it at your pace. While our time together will hold collaboration and your autonomy at the forefront, I will be engaged and dynamic throughout the entire process. Our sessions are person-centered, empathetic, and affirming and will always focus on your needs. We are all unique and your time in therapy should honor that.

I am passionate about advocacy, social justice, LGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally sensitive care. To me this means I am committed to continually learning and staying informed about important changes in the world and how they impact my community and clients.

I invite clients of any age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion. I promise to provide my professional services without discrimination and strive to be a lifelong learner and advocate. You are welcome here.

I am currently a student in the Masters of Mental Health Counseling program with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy at Belmont University, under the clinical supervision of Cadey Phipps, LMFT.
