Denise Cummings-Fagan LMHC

Overwhelmed and stressed? Every day may feel like a juggling act, trying to meet the needs of your aging parents while managing a professional career and other responsibilities. Some days you feel like you're drowning and have lost touch with yourself. With so many expectations from family and career, finding time for self feels impossible. Worried that not enough is being done for parents; you love them, but often feel like you're in it alone, exhausted and irritable. You want your identity back, to achieve balance, to maintain mental wellness and improve your ways of coping. You need to talk to someone who understands what you're going through so you can find relief. I have helped adults, teens and children in over 34 years of being a therapist. As many things have changed over the years, so has the approach to therapy. Telehealth has become popular and is, in many cases, just as impactful as traditional face to face therapy. I am committed to helping professionals, caregivers, and Gen Xer's navigate the transitions they may be facing. Let's work on balancing the expectations you face and the needs of life without feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or losing your sense of self. I will walk alongside you in your journey as I get to know you and what brings you to therapy at this time. As we consider patterns of choices and behaviors, I will suggest alternative ways of navigating the road you are on. Just as each journey is different, different therapy approaches will be used as I help guide you. Through a personalized approach, focusing on you, I provide practical strategies to reduce stress, support emotional well-being and cultivate inner calm. Together we will explore mindset shifts, behavior changes and ensure that you are taking care of yourself as you meet the demands of your world.
