At Summer Counseling, we believe that therapy should be as unique as the people we serve. How do we accomplish this? It all begins with the environment. Our practice in Oakdale, Minnesota, is home to a large team of licensed mental health professionals who bring diverse backgrounds, specialties, and real, lived experience to their work. Read on to learn what that means for you and what you can expect from our therapy services.

Our Therapists

Therapists at Summer Counseling are trained in a variety of modalities, including EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), play therapy, art therapy, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices. We also offer specialized services, like therapy for athletes and first responders. Our providers include clinicians with lived experience in those communities.

Our Approach

When we invite a new client through our doors, we don’t just look at what they’re here for—we take into account identity, values, and goals. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship concerns, parenting stress, or identity exploration, we’ll meet you with empathy and evidence-based care. In-person sessions at our welcoming Oakdale office include calming therapy spaces and dedicated rooms for play therapy. We also offer secure telehealth sessions.

Who Do We Serve?

We offer therapy that is trauma-informed, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ celebrating, and social justice-oriented. If that sounds good to you, you’re more than welcome! From early childhood to late adulthood, we support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions and other challenges with compassion.
