Kelsey Summers M.a., LPC
Hi! I am so glad you are here!
My name is Kelsey Summers, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and owner of Summers Counseling Services PLLC. I am trained to help you live your best life! For the past 12 years I have worked in mental health and have learned that therapy is not a one shoe fits all case; what works for someone else may not work for you. My job is much more complex in getting to know you on a deeper level to be able to help you to reach your goals.
I have a background in helping children, teens and adults overcome a number of problems including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Counseling is an investment in yourself that will give you a better quality of life!
After a long maternity leave and three sweet babies later, I am excited to once again serve the Andrews, Texas community; it is an underserved mental health area and I am looking forward to bringing quality counseling services back to you. I am originally from Lubbock, Texas and have now lived in Andrews for the past 5 years. Many of you may recognize my last name "Summers", as my husband Dr. Chris Summers, DC and his family have been providing chiropractic services to the area for over 30 years!

WHY SO MANY LETTERS AFTER YOUR NAME?
Good question, let’s break it down.
MA: This stands for my Master of Arts degree in professional counseling from Liberty University.
LPC: This stands for Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.
WHAT ARE YOUR AREAS OF SPECIALTY?:
It sounds strange - but I get really excited when I am working with clients who need help overcoming symptoms from traumatic experiences. Why? Because I know I can help! By using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and traditional therapy I can help diminish the symptoms that are holding you back in life and help you to finally move forward. Many of us experience adverse childhood experiences that help mold us into whom we have become as adults; however many of these negative experiences have also held us back. Traumatic experiences can cause anxiety and depression that can affect our relationships, work life, and overall self-esteem. If you are an adult, it is not too late to start living your best life, let me help you! I know, first hand, that healing your own history is hard work but I would be humbled to join you on this journey! If your child or teen has been through a traumatic experience it is best to get them into counseling as soon as possible so that the trauma does not cause lingering distress in their lives.
I also get super pumped about providing you psycho-education in regards to mental health and general physical health! Did you know that some scientists consider your gut your second brain? Meaning that our stomach is responsible for many actions in maintaining our mental health! The foods we eat and our lifestyle play an important role in how we feel, not just physically but also our mental health! Curious, about what I have to say? You should be, you have the power to help yourself feel better! Lifestyle and dietary changes may help alleviate some symptoms associated with depression and anxiety.
​
My latest passion has come from my three years of my
own motherhood journey. Being a mom is so challenging
and we don't talk about that enough in our world! Let
me help support you on your journey so you can be your
best version of you for your family! Whether you are going
through infertility, a loss, birth trauma or just in the sleep
deprived trenches of motherhood, I'm here for you!
Pouring into yourself is the best thing you can do
for your children.
