Meet the Therapist - Paisley Cummings
She/her
"I believe there is always hope for the future because we are all capable of change, growth, and healing, despite challenging life circumstances. We are the experts of our own lives and have an innate ability to heal, given the right resources and tools. I believe in a collaborative approach while discovering and/or rediscovering our inherent strengths and potential. I am committed to making therapy a safe environment where clients are free to be their authentic, vulnerable, and true selves in order to move to a greater sense of wholeness."
