Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Summer Hecht
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DSW, LCSW-C
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I am a doctoral-level social worker who has been practicing for over twelve years. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I'm a great fit for anyone who has ever left a therapy session disappointed because they were hoping for something that felt more authentic or for a space that allowed you to feel safe to be your entire self.
I provide couples, individual, and family therapy, as well as parent coaching. With couples, I am trained in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Therapy. I believe that focusing on connection, relationship strengths that already exist, and respect make couples therapy the most successful. For families, similarly, building mutual respect and communication can improve overall functioning and restore peace. For parents, I focus on creating secure attachment, consistently enforcing realistic boundaries, and mutual respect. I support individuals in identifying personal values and recognizing unhelpful patterns so that a plan for moving forward meaningfully can be made.
I'm a perfect fit for you if you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, lonely, or unfulfilled. I support moms who have experienced birth trauma, NICU stays, infertility, postpartum depression and anxiety, or who are simply not adjusting to motherhood like they thought they would. I support parents who have multiples, who know they want to break generational patterns but aren't sure how, and who want to gentle parent effectively (not permissively). I work with individuals with ADHD (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed), especially women with ADHD who may not have been diagnosed until adulthood due to compensating with overfunctioning and perfectionism. I work with individuals recovering from emotionally immature parents and with couples who are struggling to connect despite loving each other.
If any of this resonates you, I am accepting new clients and look forward to chatting with you to see if we might be a good fit! I know how overwhelming it can be to find a therapist who will be supportive, gently challenge you, and show up authentically and empathetically. I am that therapist and I can't wait to get started on helping you achieve your goals.

Dr. Angelia Corley
Psychologist, PhD
I’m Dr. Angelia Corley, a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people who are struggling with sleep problems, anxiety, and the challenges of chronic health conditions. When worry keeps you up at night or your body feels like it’s working against you, life can quickly become overwhelming. I work with clients to find effective, practical strategies that reduce that sense of struggle and help them feel more rested, grounded, and able to focus on what’s meaningful in their lives.
My approach draws on evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. These methods can help you notice unhelpful patterns, understand yourself in new ways, and make choices that better support your well-being.
Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I want therapy to be a place where you feel understood and empowered to make lasting change.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. To make it easier, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like. Visit https://restwelltherapy.sessionshealth.com/ and select "I'm a new client" to schedule a time for us to talk.
