Summit offers Telehealth sessions for clients living in Tennessee. This is a great option if you are interested in our approach combining Christian Values & Clinical Excellence, from the convenience of your home or office.
Who We Are
Our team is committed to being theologically sound and clinically sharp. In our postmodern society, where there is no baseline of truth, and therefore reality, we believe an anchor is foundational to psychological health. Our philosophical anchor is the Christian faith and scriptures. This is the primary lens through which we see. Our counselors are also clinically trained and state licensed or provisionally licensed. As such, we are well equipped to, and love working with individuals from all faith and philosophical perspectives.
