Carolyn Summerhurst
I believe great therapy happens at the intersection of science and art. In my practice, I draw from evidence-based approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—to help people understand their thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. The art lies in recognizing that each person brings a unique story, and with that, a unique path to healing.
I’m endlessly curious about people’s experiences. I want to know how you got to where you are today—and where you’d like to go next.
Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked in outpatient mental health settings, supporting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and relationships. My style is grounded in compassion, non-judgmental understanding, and a healthy dose of humour.
Whether you're navigating intense emotions, processing trauma, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m here to walk that path with you—authentically, collaboratively, and with care.
I have Masters of Social Work, a Bachelors of Social work and an Honours Bachelor of Arts. I have several published articles in peer reviewed journals related to mental health research and I occasionally work as part-time faculty in the department of Social Work at King's University College.
I work with individuals over the age of 16 and couples.
