Nice to meet you, my name is Jenessia (Janessa) Cunningham. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families across all seasons of life. Parenting and caregiving for a child or elderly parents can be particularly challenging and doesn't come with a guidebook. I enjoy getting to know my clients and catering solutions to their unique strengths and weaknesses.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is that I am genuine and look at clients thru a strength's perspective.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with parents to help reduce stress and form healthy communication and boundaries. Experienced with new mothers who are diagnosed with post-partum navigate motherhood while feeling overwhelmed and positive coping skills and provide a supportive listening ear. I also specialize in helping those diagnosed with ADHD learn about their diagnosis and build skills to help manage life more positively.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is a technique that is designed to help you find your personal desires to change. Change is uncomfortable even if it is for the best but by exploring your why and need to change you will be more invested and committed to the process to achieve your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Exploring current thoughts and feelings and identifying tools to develop new thinking patterns will help promote positive change, reduce stress and anxiety.
