Back to School with The Summit - Because Healthy Students Are Successful Students

As students prepare to return to learning, consider adding counseling services to your child's back-to-school checklist! Counseling services can be a positive support to all students with a wide range of needs. Over time, these services can help them better manage their emotions, improve focus inside and outside the classroom, improve or maintain relationships with family, friends, and school staff, and benefit their overall health.

The Summit has partnered with private schools and public school districts to offer confidential school-based mental health therapy. With Summit therapists on site, students have the option to receive services during their school day with less interruption to learning or at one of our offsite locations for evenings or weekends. This flexibility allows the therapist to quickly intervene, so students get the help they need to achieve their best at school.

The Summit Counseling Center has been selected as a finalist for The Best Counseling Services in North Atlanta for 2022! You can help us claim the title as "the best" with just a few clicks of your mouse by voting now through August 15th. The winner will receive a certificate, a window cling, a year's worth of bragging rights, and for the Summit, more healing and restorative services for our community.

Daily voting ends on August 15th. Cast your vote each day for the Summit!
