Summit Counseling Is a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider

Many primary care physicians are referring patients to mental health experts for ADHD assessments before prescribing medications. Summit Counseling is now accepting these referrals and providing the physicians with a confirming diagnosis when appropriate.

Perhaps you have already been diagnosed with ADHD and prefer not to take medication? We can provide you with the most common non-medication interventions for ADHD using evidence-based techniques, skills, and methods you can apply to immediately improve your quality of life.

Summit Counseling Added a New Client Portal

We are now implementing SimplePractice a top-rated Electronic Health Records (EHR) software system. This comprehensive practice management solution is trusted by more than 200,000 health and wellness providers. While using this practice management software, your therapist can access everything they need including appointment scheduling, billing, client payments, HIPAA-compliant Telehealth, insurance claim filing, and more.

Every SimplePractice account includes a HIPAA-compliant Client Portal. This is where you can view upcoming appointments, request new appointments, complete intake paperwork, pay bills, and message your therapist securely.

Complete implementation is expected to continue through the end of the year. We are currently implementing for all new clients. Our existing clients will be migrated to the new system over time.

Office Space Upgrade Complete

In 2023 we acquired the space formerly occupied by the Comfort Keepers. This additional space allowed us to add a reception area just off the main east entrance to the building. We are no longer hidden at the end of a dark hallway! We also have additional office space for our therapists, a small group room, and a coffee bar with hot and cold drinks for employees, clients and guests.

In June 2022 we installed a new phone system, and our numbers have changed. Our new phone number is (262) 793-0990. As always, if it is an emergency call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Don’t forget the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is also available.
