Amie Summers, LICSW, SEP

Amie Summers, MSW, LICSW serves her community as a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, coach, consultant for parents and professionals, and trainer of mental health practitioners around the world. The express intention at the center of Amie’s work is to support clients in moving in the direction of a better-feeling life and relationships.

As a lifelong learner with insatiable curiosity, Amie’s education and training are ongoing. She earned her Masters of Social Work degree from Springfield College, and since then has trained in a variety of modalities, including: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Parts/Systems work, Mindfulness, and Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (currently a trainer). She’s a certified Organic Intelligence Coach, and serves in a Faculty role at Organic Intelligence®.

Though Amie continues to study under wise teachers, mentors, and elders, all of whom are committed to alleviating suffering on/for our planet, her greatest teachers may be her three young children – experts in living joyfully in the here-and-now. She recognizes that along with the challenges of parenting (and they are aplenty!) come some of our most important opportunities for growth, playfulness, deep gratitude, and self-actualization.

“My beliefs about adoption include an understanding that ‘love isn’t (always) enough’. Children enter into their adoptive families with experiences/exposures that will affect them and possibly their ability to integrate into their new family system. Sometimes families require assistance in navigating/supporting those needs and in understanding the possible root causes of their child’s struggles, as well as guidance around how to begin building an attachment foundation.”
