Mental Health, Diversity, Inclusion and Equality have always been passions of Dr. Summer. Although a trending topic now, when she received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University it was a conversation that seemed to be non-existent. Dr. Summer attributes her initial love for psychology to multicultural factors such as accessibility to therapy, education, values, and sexual orientation. As a life coach she utilizes her educational background and mental health expertise to assist her clients to overcome barriers and attain greater life fulfillment by setting and accomplishing goals.

 

As a featured psychological consultant throughout the entertainment industry, Dr. Summer assists actors and writers with characters, plot, and script development, provides psychological perspective and insight for films or episodes reflecting complex psychological states. Whether an actor preparing for a role, a writer needs psychological expertise to move the character from A to Z, or a director requests help unfolding a psychological disorder over time, Dr. Summer has been the industry’s go-to psychological consultant. 

 

Dr. Summer has also prioritized public speaking and mental health advocacy throughout her career. From the moment she takes the mic at a workshop or panel, until the time she shakes her last attendees’ hand, people can feel the electricity from her message of empowerment surge through their body.
