Welcome to Cynthia Cunningham, MFT, where we offer exceptional social skills training for children in need. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in pediatric mental health, Cynthia Cunningham understands the importance of developing strong social skills in children at an early age.

The Importance of Social Skills

Social skills are an essential aspect of a child's overall development and well-being. The ability to interact effectively with others, communicate thoughts and emotions, and navigate social situations with confidence plays a significant role in a child's success both academically and personally.

Children who struggle with social skills may experience difficulties forming friendships, resolving conflicts, and engaging in cooperative play. These challenges can impact their self-esteem and overall quality of life.

Comprehensive Social Skills Training

At Cynthia Cunningham, MFT, we provide comprehensive social skills training programs specifically designed to meet the unique needs of each child. Our aim is to equip children with the necessary skills and strategies to enhance their social interactions and thrive in social settings.

Assessment

Prior to beginning the social skills training program, Cynthia Cunningham conducts a thorough assessment to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child's current social abilities and areas of improvement. This assessment allows us to tailor the program to meet your child's specific needs.

Individualized Training Plans

Based on the assessment results, Cynthia Cunningham develops individualized training plans for each child. These plans focus on the target areas identified during the assessment, with a holistic approach that addresses both verbal and non-verbal communication, emotional regulation, empathy, active listening, and problem-solving.

Our social skills training sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, ensuring that children remain motivated and eager to participate. Cynthia Cunningham incorporates various techniques and activities such as role-playing, group discussions, and real-life simulations, providing children with hands-on experiences and opportunities to practice their newly acquired skills.

Parent Involvement

We believe that the involvement of parents is crucial for the success of social skills training. Cynthia Cunningham actively involves parents in the process, providing guidance, support, and resources to reinforce the acquired skills within the home environment.
