About

My name is Summer Danner, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Hawai’i at Hilo. Additionally, I have completed advanced training in Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies in Houston, where I am currently a Candidate in Adult Psychoanalysis. I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly engage in continuing education programs and professional consultation.

My clinical experience spans various settings, including residential and outpatient care, as well as group and private practice settings. Before establishing my own private practice, I gained valuable experience working with respected organizations such as Ethos Behavioral Health Group (formerly, “The Lovett Center”), UTHealth Trauma and Resilience Center, enCOURAGE Trauma Center, Behavior Therapy of Houston, the University of Hawai’i at Hilo’s Student Counseling Center, Hospice of Hilo, and ‘Ai Pono Maui.
