Meet Sommer

Sommer Seitz is a licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 18 years of specialized training in trauma-informed care, working with couples, families, and children.

​

As a “root therapist,” Sommer seeks to discover the underlying emotions, beliefs, memories, patterns of behavior, unmet needs, and even energetic patterns that drive many mental health issues. She believes that all people have the capacity to improve their lives when given a safe space to heal, tools that address the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), and are mirrored their strengths.

​

Sommer uses the transformative power of body-based healing modalities, attachment therapy, and mindful awareness to help clients develop nervous system regulation, experience healing relationships, and respond to life’s stressors with resilience. She fosters a compassionate, authentic, and safe relational space with practical tools to help clients embody the life they choose.

​

Each person’s pathway to healing is as unique as they are, so Sommer uses her trained intuitive sense and a varied toolbox of techniques, including but not limited to:

​

• Somatic Internal Family Systems

• Polyvagal Theory

• Somatic Experiencing

• EMDR

• Mindfulness-Based Yoga and Meditation

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

• HeartMath

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

• Play Therapy

• Sand Tray Therapy

• Shame Resilience

• Mental Health Integrative Medicine

• Jungian Psychology

• Nature-Based Therapies

• Reiki II Practitioner

• Energy Medicine

​

Before becoming a therapist, Sommer taught English and Spanish to middle school students. She has brought her love for teaching together with her career in counseling to cofound Whole Women Link, with intentions of teaching others self-healing, holistic mental health, and encouraging growth and development.

​

Most days, you can find Sommer enjoying time with her husband, co-parenting their three children, hiking with her dogs, reading, practicing yoga, or traveling.
