Reginald Cunningham, EdD, LCPC, and CEO of Counseling Solutions, LLC. We offer counseling and therapy to adults, teens, and couples who need help to cope with current and future challenges. All of us here at Counseling Solutions are warm, curious, and compassionate in our work, fostering a safe place to express yourself without judgment. Therapy is hard work, but we aim to make the process rewarding and collaborative. We respectfully challenge you, while helping you travel a path of change and growth. We believe we can each overcome life's challenges. We help you uncover your innate abilities, so you can lead the life you deserve. As humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapists, we help you identify and become more mindful of the role unhealthy feelings, behaviors, and thoughts play in your challenges. This increased insight and understanding helps you live more flexibly, with greater compassion and authenticity. All clients are unique, and we customize our approaches to each client, integrating different modalities when appropriate. We are committed to a life of authenticity and to helping others lead the life that feels right for them, not the life others demand of them.
From years of experience, I can help my clients see what they cannot see. Light bulbs go off and clients open up to new possibilities, self discovery, and hope. I use both short term and longer term psychotherapy in order to provide more choice for my clients. I see children and adults up to age 85. I do therapy with parents and children, adolescents, individuals with depression or anxiety, and especially people going through stressful transitions. I focus on good relationships within families and within individuals (ie. How we relate to ourselves). When someone comes to see me they can expect that I will listen deeply to what they say and feel, to what they want to work on, and then work together to find solutions. I currently offer telemental health services only. I prefer phone, but Zoom and Facetime are optional.
My communication style is warm, open, and empathetic. I strive to create a safe space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself without fear of judgment. I believe in the power of active listening and am committed to understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.
