Dr. Norja Cunningham, LMFT

Dr. Norja Cunningham is an integrated clinician who tailors her methods to what will best support a client’s progress in therapy. She combines practical strategies with an emphasis on meaningful change, moving clients from insight into action so patterns are not only understood but deliberately interrupted. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she maintains clear professional boundaries while shifting roles when helpful, sometimes acting as therapist, coach, or teacher to keep work focused and productive.

Her clinical practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside trauma-informed care and mindfulness practices, and she also incorporates faith-based perspectives when relevant to a client’s needs. That blend allows her to meet people where they are and to adapt interventions to individual lived experiences. Cultural awareness is central to her approach, and she aims to provide care that recognizes diverse backgrounds and life stories.

Outside of clinical work, Dr. Cunningham enjoys singing, creative writing, playing sports, lifting weights, and traveling. These interests inform a whole-person viewpoint that she brings to sessions, supporting clients as they pursue clearer communication, healthier relationships, and sustainable coping strategies.
