Natalie Summit

Natalie Summit has been a licensed professional counselor since 1996 and brings 29 years of experience to her work in Arizona.

She began in community mental health and later transitioned into a focused role supporting law enforcement as a mental health professional. She served for 20 years with a local law enforcement agency and retired in 2019 after a career centered on crisis intervention and compassionate service.

Throughout her career she has supported individuals and families through a wide range of difficult situations, including mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, sexual crimes, child and elder abuse or neglect, and tragedies such as natural causes, suicide, homicide, and accidents. Those experiences reinforced three core convictions: people are resilient, they want to be heard, and they are willing to explore options when respect and trust are present. Her ideal client demonstrates a readiness for growth.

She provides telehealth counseling with flexible options tailored to each person. Her professional and personal background enable her to work effectively with diverse individuals and families, and she has a particular passion for assisting first responders - both sworn and civilian - with the unique challenges they face.

Her specialties include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and family conflicts, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She is licensed in Arizona as a Licensed Professional Counselor (AZ LPC 1671) and in Utah as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (UT LCMHC 11817045-6004). She welcomes questions and interest from those seeking a culturally competent, open-minded clinician who uses creative and innovative approaches to address complex concerns.
