Hello! My name is Donna Cummings and a I am Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate. I received my Master's Degree in 2015, after having worked in the mental health field for 9 years. I have experience working with addiction issues, depression, anxiety, building life skills, and promoting self esteem, self compassion, and other self worth behaviors. I utilized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy. I believe in providing support, compassion, and therapies, as well as understanding diversity and cultural awareness in assisting my clients in reaching your life goals. I also provide life coaching to clients who do not feel they need therapy, just someone to talk to and work on life skills and other topics. I began my career in mental health after realizing the lack of mental health services available in my community. I feel that there is a need and that everyone deserves to be able to access these services that can enhance their daily living activities and self care. I also feel that there needs to be a move towards normalizing counseling and removing the stigma historically associated with counseling . I will provide a confidential and nonjudgmental setting to assist you in moving towards your goals. I look forward to working with you.

I have been in the mental health profession for over 10 years. I've worked in the school setting as a school counselor and within the community as a behavioral specialist providing behavioral modification to families. I have also provided individual and group therapy in homes. I have informed parents of various community supports such as Family Connections and Developmental Pediatrics to help them with getting special education services in place for their children with special needs. I've worked with these children on their social skills, independent living skills, and self-esteem. Being a mom of a child with special needs helps in my understanding of the frustration that these children with special needs and their parents face daily. As a client-focused therapist who works with teens and adults of various ages, I believe in listening attentively to my clients and assisting them in finding their solutions to their issues. I feel that we all have the power to transform ourselves by learning ways to change our negative thoughts and actions into positive thoughts and actions. I encourage my clients to use techniques such as positive self-talk, mindfulness and journaling to help facilitate these changes. Because clients have to be willing to put in the work towards healing, I remind them of that by modeling and illustrating these techniques for them. I will provide an environment that is not judgmental with understanding. I will also evaluate clients for any type of self-harm behaviors. I understand that sometimes clients just need to talk, to feel understood and know that it is okay not feel okay. This is especially crucial for individuals to realize in these times because of the pandemic, which has more people dealing with depression, trying to find a balance in life, and re-examining their place in this world.

My philosophy is that mental health is a necessary component of overall health and well-being. I take a holistic approach to therapy with the aim to provide support that encompasses the physical, social, emotional well-being of the client. Leading and encouraging with empathy and understanding, I listen and learn about the unique needs of the individual. After graduating with a masters in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I gained experience by accepting a diverse clientele including adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I have worked with clients impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration issues, and I am prepared to offer counseling services to these people and populations.

I am pretty flexible and can likely meet the time request you have as long as it is outside of my full-time employment hours. ** BetterHelp gives therapists the option of 30 minute sessions or 45 minute sessions. My sessions are all scheduled for 45 minutes unless otherwise requested. This means that the session will begin wrapping up no later than the 43 minute mark and conclude no later than the 45 minute mark. If you feel like you need more time - please reach out so that arrangements can be made for you. NO SHOW POLICY: At the ten minute mark of your scheduled session, your appointment will be marked as a no-show unless you have reached out to me and we have agreed to start the session later. Typically, my sessions are scheduled back-to-back so rescheduling may be necessary.
