Client Impact Story:

A Lifeline to Healing

“Before coming to Summit Counseling, I was drowning in depression and PTSD.”

“Most days felt impossible, and I didn’t know how to keep going, for myself or for my family. When I learned about the DBT program, I wanted to believe change was possible, but our financial situation made it feel out of reach.

Thanks to the generous funding Summit provided, I was able to complete the full DBT program, individual sessions, group work, and even maintenance support.

Each part helped me learn how to respond instead of reacting to the intense stressors in my life.I’ve gained tools to face overwhelming emotions without shutting down or lashing out, and I’ve started to move forward with more clarity and purpose.

Things are still hard some days, but I now have something I didn’t before: hope. I feel stronger, more grounded, and more capable of showing up for myself and the people I love. Summit didn’t just offer me therapy, they gave me a lifeline. I’m deeply grateful.”
