Summer Mayne

“Nothing ever really goes away until it has taught us what we need to know” ~ Pema Chödrön Welcome, my name is Summer and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor at GTSD. My clinical experience includes working with adults suffering from co-occurring mental health diagnoses in an intensive outpatient (IOP) level of care, as well as supporting at-risk adolescents in an after school program. It was in these roles I came to understand how various forms of trauma become integrated in our bodies and minds, and show up differently for each person throughout our lives. I have worked with: ADHD Anger Depression Trauma Anxiety, Panic Disorders, & OCD Body-image stressors 12-step programs & codependency Couples & family dynamics LGBTQIA+ related hardships Career exploration Children of divorce & dysfunctional households Military veterans and more My therapeutic approach is based in openness, trust, curiosity, and cultural awareness. My goal is to help you break through the barriers that may be hindering your growth, and allow you to reconnect with yourself in the way that only you can truly discover. I believe that the connection between our psychological world and our physiological world is a key component of long lasting wellness. At a fundamental level, our brains are designed to protect us and every new experience we encounter imprints somewhere in our memory and in our body. Thus, the ways in which we respond to and cope with various stressors today are rooted in our learned experience from the past. It is when we build awareness, acceptance, and compassion towards every part of ourselves that true healing (and change) begins. In our work together, we may utilize: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Gottman Couples Therapy Psychodynamic Theory Jungian Shadow Work Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Inner Child Work Somatic Approaches Mindfulness & Meditation Internal Family Systems (IFS) & skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) In addition, I am the Operations Manager for GTSD. I work directly with our talented management team to support the growth and behind-the-scenes functions at GTSD. From your initial intake call to your very last session, our purpose is to provide you with genuine care, support and guidance while you navigate the complexities of your healing journey. As a North County native, there is nothing more rewarding than serving my local community. In my free time, you can find me running the strand in Oceanside, paddle-boarding in the Carlsbad Lagoon, or snowboarding somewhere in the mountains. Whether it’s your first time trying therapy or you have been seeking support for many years, I am curious to hear your story, learn from your resilience, and witness you tap into your most authentic self. Come as you are and we will walk this path together.
