Our clinical staff is multi-disciplinary, representing a variety of licenses and mental health backgrounds and a wide range of specializations. The Summit is an accredited affiliate of the Solihten Institute and, as such, believes that there is a close relationship of mind, body, spirit, and community.

Our team includes professional marketing, development, and administrative staff. Our business office staff supports clinicians in scheduling and billing operations.
