Dr. Mary Cumming's psychotherapy integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based therapy, family systems theory, and object-relations approaches. She provides personalized, evidence-informed care for individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, addiction, and relational conflicts. Her collaborative style emphasizes strength-based, solution-focused, and emotionally focused techniques within a safe, non-judgmental space. This eclectic framework helps clients develop coping skills, improve communication, process emotion, and achieve lasting growth and emotional well-being.

Psychotherapy with me is a collaborative and experiential process that explores the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and nervous system. In addition to meaningful conversation, we pay attention to what is happening in the present moment—your feelings, physical sensations, and stress responses—to better understand patterns that may be shaping your reactions and behaviors. By working with the nervous system and using experiential, mind-body techniques, clients often begin to experience shifts in real time. This approach helps build greater awareness, emotional balance, and resilience so you can respond to life’s challenges with more calm, clarity, and confidence.

I have an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. I was trained in several scientifically validated modalities of treatment, but most important is understanding the unique challenges of the person in front of me. Empathy and understanding are as important as therapeutic technique. My goal is to create a supportive and open environment where you feel comfortable to explore your feelings. In our time together we won't just address what brought you into treatment but gain valuable self-insight and increase personal growth.
