Sommer Stallman, M.A., LPC

Hello! My name is Sommer Stallman and I am a Northern Michigan native. I wholeheartedly embrace the counselor’s role of assisting clients in wellness, empowerment, and growth. As I continue to work with individuals in Michigan, I utilize counseling techniques (including those of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused and Person Centered) and unconditional positive regard to assist individuals in realizing personal goals. Together, we will work toward examining thought patterns, identifying actions that are in accordance of values, developing positive coping skills, and improving self-awareness.

I welcome all individuals and have experience working with older adults in the nursing home setting, adults with chronic illness, clients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, and clients who experience depression, anxiety, and grief. I find the therapeutic alliance to be one of the most important tools for guiding clients toward self-awareness and growth and strive to create a safe space for healing.

I applaud you in taking this first step on your journey!
