Therapists in Gig Harbor, WA

Accepting NEW Clients - - - Are you living your best life? Are you feeling stuck? I provide evidence based treatments to help you experience a life with meaning and purpose and to feel better quickly. During our sessions, my goal is for you to feel unconditional acceptance and compassion in our relationship. My style is friendly, light-hearted and I use humor quite a bit. I will work with your strengths and unique needs to cultivate an environment where you can learn the skills to boost the quality of your life.

I believe the purpose of therapy is to support people in gaining personal insight, understanding of others perspectives, and integrating this information while planning new and improved responses and courses of action. As we are able to discover and express our hidden emotions and create new relational responses we then have the potential to change a distressed and rigid relationship into a more secure, safe and satisfying one. My commitment is to devote my full attention to you during our time together and to work with you as supportively, competently, responsibly, and professionally as I am able.

Calm Your Anxiety, Enhance Your Relationships! If you are anxious, worried or stressed, or you are suffering because your relationship is not as satisfying as you would like, I can help you calm your anxieties and create more fulfilling relationships. I provide therapy services for individual adults, helping you to be calmer and to create satisfying, fulfilling relationships. I have also helped many people alleviate their depression, which so frequently arises from relationship struggles. Please call or email me: linda@drlindacunningham.com.

My trauma-informed approach invites a space of safety, warmth, and authenticity where we navigate issues and process emotions together to enhance resiliency, trust, and self-worth. It is my hope that therapy and our therapeutic alliance will provide you with opportunity for healing, empowerment, and re-authoring of life stories for positive change and growth toward personal fulfillment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families seeking to process through various struggles and difficulties using evidence-based treatments.

I provide a safe space for my clients to be heard, understood, and supported. I believe counseling is a process in which I work with them to reflect on, develop, and shape their unique story. Everyone has intrinsic strengths, and I love helping clients identify and utilize their personal strengths to heal and grow. My goal is to create a space that allows for personal exploration, genuine healing, and skill development to help them become healthy and confident in their identity and path forward.

Weeks, months, or possibly years pass while ignoring a nagging sensation in our minds/bodies. The sensation is communicating to us that something is not right. When we listen, we might notice a few things. In our work, we might feel overwhelmed, dissatisfied, or worthless. In our day-to-day life, we might feel irritated, guilty, or uncertain. Maybe we notice overall feelings of hopelessness, worry, and fatigue. We may have chronic stress, depressive feelings, and anxiety. We want to be free of these feelings and have more meaning in our lives, but we don’t know how to start or what to do next.

I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience that provides clients with the tools and insights they need to live more fulfilling lives.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples. Navigating live's challenges can be really intimidating amidst the stressors of life, especially when they all start piling up and ways you used to cope before stop working. Before giving up, try seeking help from a qualified professional and learn new ways of understanding and interacting with your environment. By identifying and working through barriers, new patterns can be learned, and healing experiences can be found. Resources can be gained and emotional resilience can be improved. You can find the harmony you desire within your life, and it starts here.

Accepting New Clients! Telehealth Only. Hello! When looking for a therapist, you want someone that you connect with, someone you can trust, and someone that you believe you can be vulnerable with. I invite you to explore and identify these characteristics of the person you want on this journey with you. I would be overjoyed if you provided me the opportunity to walk alongside you on your new journey to new patterns and behaviors to reach your therapeutic goals.

Have you been impacted by problematic relationships, infidelity, or sex addiction? You might feel lost, betrayed, and alone. Do you ask yourself, "How do I keep ending up in these relationships?". Are you afraid to be alone even when your partner is clearly unhealthy? Core beliefs are the foundation of our being but when they cause us pain, embarrassment, and shame we can become depressed, anxious, fake, and withdrawn. Do you compare yourself to others (I call this Comparanoia)? Do you tell yourself “I am stupid”, “I am worthless”, or “I am not good enough”? If so, then your core beliefs may be contributing to your pain today.

We provide individual/group therapy and education services to support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from all cultures, backgrounds, and abilities.

I would love to meet to discuss how I can collaborate with you in your goals toward a sustainable pathway to healing.

Are you struggling with the same problems? Do you sometimes feel that your relationships aren't working, your job is a nightmare, your children aren't what you expected when you were expecting? Change doesn't have to be hard. Let's work together to understand what can be changed, find new interpersonal tools, and increase your personal power and effectiveness.

We have all experienced times when life seems challenging... a period of transition, ongoing struggles with anxiety or depression, or a loss that turns our world upside down. In our darkest moments, there can be no greater consolation than the gift of companionship on our journey through pain.

No matter where you find yourself in your life journey, I can promise that you will be welcome in my office, and together we will work towards healing.

My approach to therapy is an integrated healing of the mind, body, spirit and soul to bring wholeness, which is available to every one of us. Through the lens of trauma-informed care, I specialize in betrayal trauma, childhood trauma, attachment concerns, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and mental health disorders that interfere with daily living.

Are you looking for someone that you connect with, provides compassion and support, and helps you process through your concerns? It can be hard to find the right therapist for you. My hope is that you would feel safe, understood and accepted in counseling. I work collaboratively with clients to help them manage concerns in their life. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, putting your needs first and providing you the tools you need to find healing.
