SummerSmith, Inc is a Tucson counseling and consulting private practice that provides effective mental health and relationship counseling services. Our aim is to help you be your best you, and enjoy the benefits in work, relationships, health, and just being happier. We exist to help you find the best within yourself - and how to continue the process on your own - forever.
As Tucson based counselors, advisors and consultants, we bring expertise, experience, and compassion to every relationship we begin and keep. Together we face many of life's challenges, knowing how painful and personal they are at times; but knowing that once addressed and new skills learned - new healing and growth can return quickly.
For example, learning to manage your moods (to be happier, more at peace.) also helps you to be more successful with health (anxiety is one of the leading reasons for a visit to the doctors' office), relationships (anxiety and depression are leading causes of sexual problems, chemical dependency, anger.)

We all know the feeling of anxiety before going to a job interview or before an important test.
The feeling of our heart pounding, palms sweating, dry mouth and scattered thoughts.
That is fear.
It motivates us to prepare for a challenge, to stay safe and think ahead.
It helps us avoid danger and prepare for success.
And of course anxiety can also get in our way of being happy, healthy and successful.
Sometimes anxiety seems like a fear or worry that won't go away or explodes into a panic attack - for no apparent reason.

Unhappy with how you look or feel?
Feel out of control with food?
Secretly trying to cope with behaviors that embarrass or scare you?
As you will see in the information that follows, there are many faces to Eating Disorders.
However, one of the most common characteristics is that it is something you do in private - trying to go it alone, be strong and suffer in silence.
You are designed to solve your life challenges and problems WITH the help of others.
ED is no different.

Did you ever have this experience?
You have been learning better communication techniques; you are ready to listen to your partner and use your new skills to begin a good conversation about something important.
Then, your partner says a sentence or two and suddenly you realize your heart is starting to pound, your mind is starting to scream, "it's not fair" or "you don't understand me!" and the listening and nice communication exercise is over.
Seems like it is the same discussion and the same emotional response all over again and again.
