Lillian Cunningham, LMHC

Lillian Cunningham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and seasoned psychotherapist who brings more than three decades of clinical and academic experience to her work in Miami and greater Florida. She specializes in supporting people who are coping with trauma, PTSD, dissociative symptoms, anxiety, depression, and challenges around self-esteem, body image, sexuality, and relationships. Combining a professor's depth of knowledge with a compassionate therapeutic presence, she works to understand each person's history and priorities before designing a tailored plan to promote healing and renewed purpose.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and a blend of proven methods to address core issues. Lillian frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness practices, psychoanalytic insights, Brainspotting, and Gestalt techniques to help clients process emotions, reframe unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping skills. She also attends to life transitions and concerns specific to women and LGBT clients, including abandonment, self-love, and life purpose.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental environment in which Lillian prioritizes listening, validation, and a strong therapeutic alliance. Her approach is both personalized and holistic, focused on helping people move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life through thoughtful, evidence-informed care.
