Join Our Team

Since 2017 we’ve deliberately building a team and practice reflective of our core values. These values include flexibility, curiosity, respect, and reciprocity. We are very proud of our commitment to professionalism and high quality services. That reputation is maintained by our counselors and it’s important they feel seen and supported.

We value building a team with unique interests and specialty areas so that clinicians may serve in ways they feel most passionate about. We prioritize services and modalities that are rooted in science and applied with respect to the subtle differences in client lives.

We value teamwork, supportiveness, and encouragement. We value healthy boundaries and transparent communication.

Summit is owned by co-owners Lindsay and Ben Taylor, both of whom are LPC/MHSP clinicians. In short, we have sought to create a private practice where we would like to work (and we do). We look forward welcoming new team members who reflect similar values and whom we may support in their work as a clinician.
