Summit is built for complexity.
Dr. Jeanne Layne works with clients whose experiences may feel layered, high-acuity, embodied, or difficult to fully explain. Care is relational, trauma-focused, somatic, and depth-oriented — grounded in the belief that symptoms are often meaningful responses shaped by survival, not defects to erase.
Non-pathologizing care is an approach that conceptualizes psychological difficulties as understandable human experiences rather than evidence that a person is fundamentally “disordered” or “broken.” At Summit, patterns like collapse, hypervigilance, numbness, fear or emotional intensity are explored as responses that may have made sense in a particular context, even if they are no longer serving the person well. Within this conceptualization, the work emphasizes dignity, context, resilience and the potential for growth.
Depth-oriented therapy focuses on understanding the underlying emotional, relational, and unconscious patterns that shape a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Rather than prioritizing quick reassurance or symptom reduction alone, the goal is to cultivate deeper understanding, greater emotional regulation, and integration that supports lasting psychological change.
The body is treated as a source of wisdom and information. Somatic responses are not dismissed or overridden. They are listened to as meaningful signals shaped by experience, protection, and survival. This can include tension, numbness, hypervigilance, collapse, panic, or difficulty feeling safe.
Yes. Summit provides virtual therapy for eligible clients located in PSYPACT-participating states. Virtual therapy allows clients to access specialized care with Dr. Layne without being limited to local providers.
PSYPACT stands for the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. In plain language, it allows authorized licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology across participating states without needing a separate license in every state. This may allow you to work with Dr. Layne online even if you are not located in Michigan.
Summit serves eligible clients located in PSYPACT-participating states. As of 2026, PSYPACT includes 42 U.S. jurisdictions, including 40 states, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands. State eligibility is confirmed during the consultation process because participation and requirements can change.
For many clients, yes. Online therapy can offer consistency, privacy, and access to specialized care. When the therapeutic relationship is strong and the work is clinically grounded, virtual therapy can provide a steady container for trauma-focused, somatic, and depth-oriented treatment.
Summit is a private pay, out-of-network practice. This means clients pay directly for sessions. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, Summit can provide documentation for possible reimbursement when appropriate. Coverage and reimbursement rates vary by plan, so it’s encouraged to contact your insurer to learn about your out-of-network benefits before beginning treatment.
The fee for a 50-minute session at Summit Psychology is $250.
You can begin by booking a consultation with Dr. Layne. During the consultation process, Summit will confirm your location, discuss what you are seeking support for, and determine whether the practice is an appropriate fit.
Session frequency depends on your needs, goals, clinical presentation, and what feels appropriate for the work. Many clients begin with weekly sessions, especially when working with complex trauma, PTSD, moral injury, treatment-resistant patterns, or high-acuity emotional material.
