Liz Cummings, MSW-i
Therapist
Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a Master of Social Work student at Boise State University completing my clinical internship here at Wellspace Utah.
I value working with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences. I’m excited to support clients as they navigate change, relationships, healing, and personal growth.
I’m especially drawn to helping clients identify their strengths as they navigate life changes and work through past hardships and traumas. I value collaboration and believe that therapy doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. I hope to create a space where we can be curious about what’s happening in your life, recognize what is already working, and explore new ways of moving forward.

I am bilingual in both English and Spanish. My path into social work has allowed me to work alongside individuals and families during some of the more difficult and uncertain moments in their lives. Through experiences in family support, substance use treatment, and victim advocacy, I’ve learned how important it is to approach each person with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their individual experiences.
