Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Monica Mendiola Cummings is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #16804) with experience working with children, adults, families, and high-risk populations. She specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, parenting support, school issues, life transitions, self-esteem, grief/loss, life adjustment, stress, and family conflict.

While working with clients, she uses a strengths-based, client-centered approach. In addition, she adapts various techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solutions-focused therapy (SFT), reality therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and family systems therapy. She also incorporates mindfulness, gratitude, positivity, and personal connection.

Her intentions are to meet the client where they are and use that as a starting point for fostering healing and connection. She believes changing oneself can improve not only one’s quality of life but also that of the system around one. Experiencing the waves of life can be intimidating when one feels alone, and she is here and ready to support one with this process.
