Hi, I’m Jen Cunningham! As a teenager I had mixed experience with therapy and often was afraid of judgement or didn’t feel safe to share my true thoughts. At the age of 16 I began working on a Crisis Hotline, where I was introduced to education and training on how to connect with others and support them in their most challenging times. From then on my passion and interest in mental health and wellness grew and I made it my personal mission to normalize talking about or seeking mental health treatment. I find it to be an extremely awesome privilege to be a therapist.
I started my professional counseling career in Chicago, IL, where I worked and volunteered in multiple settings such as a public schools and a residential treatment facility. I have worked with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults, but have found my passion in working with girls and women. That is why I created The Therapy Loft, a place where all women can find safety, support, and skills to live a beautifully full life.
