Miles T Cunningham

Clinical Social Worker Associate (CSWA #A16731)

Hi, I’m Miles! I’m a Black therapist who believes therapy should be a space where you can be yourself, talk openly, and feel understood without judgment. I know that reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self.

I am a board registered Clinical Social Worker Associate (A16731). I provide services under the clinical supervision of Nahomie Guillaume, LMFT (T1492), and Eli F. Kinsley, LCSW (L11766).

My educational background includes a Master of Social Work from Boston College, which I completed in May 2020, with a focus on Youth and Family Counseling and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Eastern Connecticut State University in May 2019. This training continues to shape the way I support clients through a compassionate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed lens.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for youth ages 10 and up, young adults, and adults.

As a Black therapist, I understand that our experiences, culture, family, community, and identity can shape the way we see ourselves and experience the world. For many clients, finding a therapist who understands or appreciates those experiences can be important.

I value the opportunity to work with individuals and families and provide a space where you don’t have to constantly explain or defend your experiences. At the same time, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and strive to provide culturally responsive and respectful care to everyone.

I bring experience supporting young adults, adults, children, and families in community, school-based, and clinical settings. In my current work as a Co-Occurring Therapist, I support clients who are navigating both mental health and substance use concerns through assessments, treatment planning, and individual and group therapy.

I have also worked closely with families as a Family Intervention Specialist, helping children and caregivers strengthen communication, build support systems, and work through challenges at home, school, and in the community.

My background also includes supporting youth, student-athletes, and BIPOC communities through counseling, mentorship, grief support, and community-based programs. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating a therapy space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported.

I have completed additional training in Mental Health First Aid, grief and loss facilitation, and violence prevention, and I continue to engage in professional development focused on culturally responsive support and student wellness.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on your strengths. I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

I want to get to know you as a whole person from your experiences, relationships, culture, goals, and the things that matter most to you. From there, we can work together to figure out what you need and what approach feels right for you.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a trauma-informed approach in my work. I have also facilitated BIPOC grief and support groups, creating spaces where people could openly talk about their experiences, connect with others, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Most importantly, I don’t expect you to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You can show up exactly as you are.

Whether you’re trying to process something from your past, manage what’s happening right now, improve your relationships, or understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you. We’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.
