"She trains you to elevate your thinking"
Working with Summer has been a game-changer. She brings a refreshing perspective as a woman in the field that’s grounded, insightful, and deeply empowering. She helps you think strategically and big-picture, always moving with intention toward your goals. Her experience shines through every session, and the way she trains you to elevate your thinking has blown my mind. I’ve gained tremendous clarity and purpose.

"Grew my production by $100k a month"
I can’t recommend Ladder 5 enough. When I met Dr. Kassmel, I was a burned-out dentist struggling with a start-up while running my practice. She helped me find the courage to go all in with my start-up. Within a year, I grew my production by $100k a month. She also helped me find balance and systematize my business so I can be a more present mom and wife. This program changed everything.
Dr. Emily Dennison
"She has a no BS approach"
I’m forever grateful I met Summer. Her mentorship transformed my business and lifestyle. Working with her, I increased profits and gained the flexibility and freedom I have today. Summer listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and truly understands problems before offering solutions. She has a “no BS” approach that’s clear, direct, and immediately actionable. She truly understands the challenges of being a female dental owner.
Dr. Mila Cohen
"Great at understanding people and leadership"
What makes Summer special is how she recognizes what it takes to solve problems. She asks the right questions and gets to the core of issues with a solution-focused approach. Summer is great at understanding people and has an ability to connect with anyone. She asks questions in a non-judgmental way, cares deeply, and follows through. She’s confident yet humble, and knows both the dental business and the business of leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the 5 Pillars Program?
The 5 Pillars Program is a guided framework designed to help women dentists reconnect with their purpose, lead with clarity, and grow their practice in a way that feels aligned—not overwhelming. Through mindset coaching, strategic tools, and leadership development, we walk you through five core areas: Vision, Data, Leadership, Resilience, and Legacy.
I’m already successful—how do I know this is for me?
This program isn’t about teaching you how to “get more done.” It’s about helping you realign with what truly matters. Many of our clients are already high-achievers who feel unfulfilled, disconnected, or burned out. If you’ve built a life that looks great on paper but feels off inside, this is for you.
How much time will this take? I’m already maxed out.
We get it—you’re busy. That’s why this program is designed to fit into your life, not take it over. Each module is focused, intentional, and built to create meaningful change without requiring hours of extra work. This is about working smarter—with more clarity, not more hustle.
