COUNSELOR AS A COACH IN The RELATIOnship SETTING

Partnering together can assist you in discovering the factors and behaviors that hinder your life, work, or relationships and contribute to stress, anxiety, and dysfunctional patterns. Together we can chart a path to think, feel, and choose differently, and create accountability to achieve all your goals and dreams!

A Los Angeles native, Dr. Heidi Summers, has spent her career caring for the souls and relationships of others. She is double board certified as a Christian Counselor and Master Coach, is a Certified Trauma Professional and an ordained minister. These vocational distinctives help her embrace her passion to help others experience well-being, transformation, and flourish.

She earned a doctorate from Fuller Theological Seminary researching the intersection of Interpersonal Neurobiology and transformation (Romans 12:1,2 ). She is fortunate to have studied with the notable cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf in her master’s program, and the pioneer of Interpersonal Neurobiology Dr. Daniel J. Siegel while in her master’s and doctoral programs. A curious and perpetual student, she further continued studies on the mind/brain connection at Johns Hopkins University with a capstone project on trauma interventions, and then further continuing education in psychology at the University of Oxford. Motivated by an ongoing deep desire to see others heal and thrive, she currently studies at Regent University, pursuing a second doctorate in Counseling Psychology focused in psychotraumatology (and has promised her family this will be the capstone to her formal academic adventures…).

She is fortunate to have completed in-person intensive workshop trainings with Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Cloud, and in-person intensive workshop trainings with relationship experts Milan and Kay Yerkovich in working with couples using Attachment Theory, and is additionally trained by the Gottman Institute in Couples Therapy. Additionally, she is a Dr. Daniel Amen Licensed Brain Health Trainer. She has been greatly influenced by and holds deep respect for Dr. David Augsburger and the late Dr. Arch Hart. In a word, she just feels fortunate.

In addition to private practice, she is with the New Life Live! referral network (winner of the 2023 Radio Program of the Year Award from NRB) and has served as a speaker and facilitator at their workshops and intensives. Grateful for the experience, she transitioned away from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2024, where she spent a significant amount of time and heart on staff over two different departments and decades, to join the Psychology and Counseling Department at Regent University. She has also served on various boards, including advisory boards of two Christian universities, and is the author of The Sacred Path: A Pilgrimage with the Fruit of the Spirit — April 2025 release at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other outlets. Available for pre-sale at Amazon now.

Heidi is a wife, mother of three sons, and is grateful for their wives whom she considers as her three bonus daughters, and is Oma to the world’s most adorable granddaughters. She is also an avid athlete, musician, coffee-aholic, Peloton addict and admits to buying more books than she reads. She is always ready to climb any mountain and follow every dream.
