Summer Self-Care Opportunities
Congratulations… the school year of 20/21 is officially behind us! This summer, we are offering elementary – high school groups, designed to help students process feelings and emotions that were negatively impacted by the pandemic and provide them with the skills and tools needed to prepare them for a successful school year in 2021/22. Full scholarships are available for students that attend a Fulton or Dekalb County School that has a Summit therapist onsite.

Respectful Parenting – Part 1
Dr. Alice Hoag, Ed.D.
Licensed Professional Counselor |
| This is the first in a series on respectful parenting. The focus of this first segment is on the physical aspect of raising children respectfully, and on instilling in the child/teen a sense of respect for self and others. Dictionary.com defines “respect” as, among other things, “esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment. To hold in esteem or honor; to show regard or consideration for.” |

Attachment and Your Child
Allison Bates, M.S.
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor |
| A secure attachment is the foundation for a child’s responses, their interactions with others, their expectations of you and the family as a whole. When a child is attached to a parent, they are significantly less likely to have reactive outbursts, the child is often more likely to be comfortable expressing their emotions and have higher self-esteem. |

Janet Fluker, M.Ed., M.S.
Licensed Professional Counselor |
| Janet believes emotional healing comes through the power of relationship and strives to provide a safe and supportive space for this healing. Her main theoretical orientation is Attachment Theory. She believes that we learn how to be in a relationship in our earliest experiences with our families and develop ways to be in the world that works for us, until they no longer do, which often shows up in anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems. Providing a safe, non-judgmental place to examine our relationship to ourselves, others and God can bring healing and freedom. |

Stephen Walters, M.Div., M.A.
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor |
| Stephen believes everyone is made to make a difference in this world. Often, life events, anxiety, fear, grief, and loss may hinder our ability to know and make our difference. His hope in counseling is to work with individuals, couples, and families to strengthen them to make their difference. To live the way we desire, we often need to adjust the way we think about the world, others, and ourselves. Stephen likes to help process life experiences that have impacted the beliefs we have about ourselves and work on strategies to engage life in a fulfilling and meaningful way, so that we can all make a difference. |

Online Mental Health Screening |
| We all feel anxious from time to time, but anxiety disorders are more than a temporary bout of worry or fear. Uncontrollable and persistent anxiety that interferes with your daily life may indicate generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Take an online assessment to see if you have symptoms common in people with an anxiety disorder. |
