Getting to know Colleen Cunniff

Hi there, I'm Colleen! My name is Colleen Cunniff, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I work with adolescents, young adults, and families, specializing in anxiety, depression, family conflict, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. I utilize a Dialectical Behavior Therapy approach combined with Family Systems and Patient-Centered Therapies. My approach My approach to therapy varies depending on the patient’s needs. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Patient-Centered Therapy to understand what the patient is struggling with and to guide goal setting and positive change. My focus I typically work with adolescents, young adults, and families dealing with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, family conflict, and behavioral challenges. I help these individuals better understand the source of their discomfort, build coping skills, and shift their thought processes. My communication style My communication style is calm and personable, with the ability to be firm and challenging when necessary. I focus on a non-judgmental approach to increase patient comfort during sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I enjoy helping others. Supporting friends and family has always been important to me, and this evolved into a desire to professionally assist those in need. I find fulfillment in helping people develop the skills they need to address their challenges and foster healing and growth. My goals for you I work with patients to set goals by gathering their input on what they want to achieve in therapy and providing feedback to create concrete treatment objectives. My first session with you During our initial session, I focus on understanding what you have been feeling and what prompted you to seek therapy.
