Dr. Norja Cunningham
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Norja
Dr. Cunningham is an integrated clinician, meaning her approach is shaped by what will actually support your progress in therapy.
Her style may shift between therapist, coach, or teacher, with clear boundaries that keep the work focused and effective.
Her work is rooted in:
• CBT
• DBT
• Trauma-informed care
• Mindfulness
• Faith-based therapy
She provides care that is culturally aware with the grounded understanding of different lived experiences.
Her focus is supporting clients to move from insight into action – so they’re justly understanding their patterns and actually interrupting them.
Outside of sessions, she enjoys singing, creative writing, playing sports, lifting weights, and traveling.
