About
Hi, my name is Ron Cummings and I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 8 years. I decided to become a therapist after being a school teacher for 9 years. During that time, I realized that many of my students were having problems learning due to what they experienced in the outside world. As a result, I obtained an MA in Counseling Psychology in 2013. Since then I have worked as an MFT intern therapist working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I have discovered that life does not always provide us a smoothly paved road. I experienced two car crash injuries, death in my family, suffering panic attacks with agoraphobia, being burglarized, beat down, having my car stolen, being unemployed and nearly homeless. I was able to make it through these things due to the support of others and through therapy. This is the reason that I am a therapist. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients on goals they wish to reach as well as overcoming anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and situational difficulties. I have post-graduate training in EMDR and DBT. I regularly use CBT, solution-focused, client-centered and EFT for couples.
