Nichole M Cunha, LCSW

Nichole Cunha, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping people move through crisis and long-standing emotional struggles with practical, evidence-based tools. She has advanced, specialized training in suicide prevention and intervention, including a competency-based Safety Planning Intervention program sponsored by Face the Fight and delivered through the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Prevention of Suicide, and she integrates this work with the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) framework to make sure safety always comes first in care.

Nichole is also certified in the Unified Protocol, a transdiagnostic approach that treats the emotional patterns underneath anxiety, depression, and related struggles rather than chasing a single diagnosis. This means therapy is tailored to how a person actually experiences and copes with emotion, not just a label on a chart. She has helped design and lead this training across her health system and has presented her work regionally and nationally.

Patients working with Nichole can expect a collaborative, non-judgmental approach grounded in current research and genuine care for the whole person.
