About me

Hello my name is Aisha Cunningham, I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialization in trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. I create a special and nurturing environment for clients. With 10 years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of the complex nature of these mental health challenges and I am committed to helping individuals overcome their struggles and find healing. As a trauma informed care therapist, I recognize the profound impact that traumatic experiences can have on an individual's overall well-being. Through holistic therapeutic techniques or evidence-based practices, I provide a non-judgmental, special and nurturing space for clients to explore their trauma, process their emotions, and develop effective coping strategies. I also work with women of color that may need a space to process their day-to-day life, work stress, personal life without feeling stressed, judged and overwhelmed. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I empower clients to regain control over their lives and move towards a path of resilience and recovery.

Aisha is all of the above. She offers different avenues of healing, whether it be through meditation/grounding, simple coping mechanisms, or ways to re-wire thoughts as they come through. She empowers you to do the work and uses questions to guide you to the answer. She validates your experiences and I feel comfortable sharing with her. She is very open and makes it easy to talk about what's been going on. She also gives home work & follows up to ensure you're keeping yourself accountable too.
