About Us

At Summit Family Therapy, PLLC, we provide counseling services for children, individuals, couples, and families in Peoria, Illinois.

A Family-Owned Practice That Feels Like Home
At Summit Family Therapy, we know that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in connection, in community, and in spaces where you feel genuinely seen and supported. That’s why we’ve built something different: a local, family-owned counseling practice that puts people first.

We’re not a big chain. We’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re a small, dedicated team of therapists who live here, raise our families here, and are deeply invested in the well-being of our Peoria area community.

Built by Family, Designed for Yours
Founded by married co-owners Drs. Courtney and Ryan Stivers, Summit Family Therapy was created with one vision in mind: to offer expert, heart-centered counseling services grounded in trust, relationship, and real-life understanding. Together, they have assembled a multidisciplinary team of experienced clinicians dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families in achieving meaningful, lasting change. Our practice is centered on in person sessions, but we also offer Telehealth video sessions based on client preference.

Our group combines clinical excellence with a welcoming, down-to-earth approach that honors your story—whether you're seeking therapy for yourself, your child, your partner, or your entire family.
