Chrissy Cunningham

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW degree from NYU. I work with adults through a Feminist Therapy perspective, in a way that seeks to minimize the power imbalance inherent in clinical settings, centers the client’s story in our work, recognizes that the client is the expert on their own life, and helps the client identify their own sources of power. The goal in my work with clients is to help them identify their individual values and committed actions towards those values, and work through any obstacles that they are experiencing – both internal and external – and towards their values using an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. I work with clients experiencing a variety of issues, including depression and anxiety, grief and loss, interpersonal violence, low self-esteem, gender identity and sexual orientation issues, social and financial stress, and experiences of oppression.  I am also an avid tennis player and am learning to play the oboe.
