Meet Summer Jackson, LCSW

Your guide to healing, growth, and authentic living

I've supported people through challenging times for over 14 years.

After earning my Master's of Social Welfare from UC Berkeley, I discovered that the most profound healing happens when we combine evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection.

Besides my professional credentials, I'm passionate about the little things that make life meaningful. I believe healing happens not just in therapy sessions, but in how we nourish and move our bodies, respond to our thoughts, and connect with others.

While you are the expert on your life, I'll guide you toward greater self-awareness and personal agency, to help you break free from the short-term coping strategies that may feel safe but ultimately keep you stuck. Let's work toward long-lasting change.

Therapy Approaches

Besides traditional talk therapy, I utilize evidence-based approaches that actually work. When you have the right tools, transformation becomes possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Uncover the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When you understand these patterns, you can create meaningful, lasting change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Discover the power of accepting what's outside your control while committing to actions that align with your values.

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

Enhance your ability to cope with life's challenges by cultivating present-moment awareness. Besides reducing stress, you'll deepen your self-understanding and ability to show up in the world the way you intend to.

Motivational Interviewing

Engage in conversations designed to tap into your inner motivation. Change comes from within, and momentum is built with intention.
