Aloha my name is Summer Batini and I have been a LPC for 5 years but have been working in the mental health filed for over 20 years. I am DBT informed, and certified in working with individuals who have experienced trauma whether it be due to death, war, domestic violence etc. I believe in the 12 steps of AA and am an advocate of Bill W. I am equipped with an abundance of coping skills to assist you in bringing awareness and mindfulness to stressful situations. Finding a therapist that feels comfortable to you is important. I may be the right fit for you, and if not I can give you the resources to find that better fit.
