Cunningham Counseling, LLC

PROFESSIONAL APPROACH:

I am a therapist trained in Family Systems. This means that I have been trained to look at an entire systemic network when working with an individual, couple, or family. I look at the context of the presenting issue to be able to better understand how it is impacting not only the client, but also their surrounding family, friends, or co-workers. This is a holistic approach as it goes beyond trying to understand just the presenting issue. I typically focus on the “here and now” of the situation that is presented in trying to determine how it is currently affecting the client’s life. To approach change, I look for patterns or repeating interactions in the person’s life and try and determine the best way to alter those patterns to produce change and growth.



EDUCATION:

I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in Psychology with a minor in Family Studies.I completed my training at John Brown University (Arkansas) where I received a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Community Counseling. Both programs excelled in training me to better understand both human behavior and how best to help an individual achieve change and growth in his or her life.

Currently I am a Licensed Mental Health Practicitioner through the state of Nebraska. I hold a license as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
