Poletta “Shay” Cunningham, LCSW

I have been working in Mental Health for more than 10 years, initially starting my journey at the Department of Social Services. I realized very early in my career that I wanted to be a part of the change that kept families together. I pride myself on true social work values; which includes integrity, ethical practices, and quality services. I have specialized certification and training in trauma and a long work history of family systems therapy.

Here at Essential Journey Counseling, we offer Individual, Group and Family Therapy. Our focus is family preservation; however, we do handle more specific needs such as depression, anxiety, extensive trauma care, ADHD, systems work, behavioral concerns, women and men's health.

Trust the process and remember that life is a journey, we get to decide our own path!
