Sybil Cummin, MA, LPC, ACS
Clinical Director and Supervisor

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Arvada Therapy Solutions, PLLC. It is my passion to provide high quality services to all members of our community. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my training or practice. I look forward to hearing from you.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education from the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, as well as an Approved Clinical Supervisor nationally.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and their families; specifically with anxiety, trauma, domestic violence, depression, sports psychology, and other issues affecting a family’s daily functioning. I am trained in several evidence based models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, and Multi-systemic Therapy (MST). I am also trained in directive and non-directive play therapy.

I work from a strength based and collaborative approach. I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes for themselves and for their family. My goal is to help each individual learn the skills to accomplish the changes they are hoping for now and in the future.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a mom to two wonderful boys. We enjoy spending time outside playing and doing many art and science projects.

I believe that every person has the ability to grow and change no matter how far gone they feel. I also understand that life can be extremely difficult and that change is not easy. I am passionate about working with children and individuals who are experiencing a wide range of struggles and are looking for counseling. I believe that for counseling to be the most successful, it is important for the client to feel safe within the therapeutic relationship. I strive to help the client feel heard and safe in the counseling room.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Northern Colorado with a minor in Psychology. I was a teacher for three years before I decided to get my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary. My passion is to help people in their journey through life after trauma. I have worked with individuals who have struggled with addiction, abuse, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, along with people who were experiencing a life changing event and have seen the power that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can have to help people overcome each of these experiences.

I am a Colorado native who loves to hike and ski. My husband and I love to travel whenever we can. We also have a English Bulldog who loves to cuddle. I also have a niece and two nephews who I love to spend time with.

Christiana Kordic, MA, LPCC

I am passionate about stories and believe in the power of people’s stories. I also enjoy and am passionate about providing opportunities for individuals to express themselves in unique and creative ways. I believe growth and beneficial change can occur and impact individuals and the people in their lives. I believe relationships can be a significant pathway for growth and change.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Colorado Christian University, and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Denver Seminary. I have a passion for connecting with and empowering children, teens, and their families.

I am a Colorado native and enjoy snowboarding in the winter. My husband and I love to be outdoors when the weather permits us to be, and we appreciate how many beautiful places there are to hike and explore in Colorado.

I enjoy developing authentic, collaborative and empathetic relationships with my clients, and believe that everyone can enact positive change in their lives. My therapeutic style is strengths based and influenced by relational, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based approaches to healing and growth. I enjoy working with both adults and children to deal with change, understand and reduce fears and anxieties, increase self-love, develop self-care practices, and explore thoughts and feelings.

I have more than two decades of experience working with children and adults in educational and equine settings. My bachelor’s degree is in Sociology with a concentration in Social Work from Adams State University. I obtained my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from a CACREP program at Capella University. I am an LPCC and a member of the American Counseling Association. I have extensive experience with children and teenagers, and use my background as an educator and mother of four kids to inform my practice.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Counseling and Social Change from San Diego State University in 2016. I have spent the past four and a half years working as a Registered Behavior Technician with children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in a home, school, community, and clinic setting. I went back to school two years ago and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Applied Behavior Analysis and will graduate in the fall of 2022. I am really excited to work with children and their families and help them grow.

I am originally from California, my family and I are new to Colorado and excited to explore our new home. I love to climb and being outdoors, we are very excited to continue to explore this beautiful state.

Summer Rippe, MA, LPCC

As someone who is compassionate and empathic to those who struggle in life, I hope to give my clients a safe space to disclose their experiences without fear of judgment. I believe people can grow in skills and resiliency from the strength within themselves and lead productive and happy lives. I look forward to working collaboratively with my clients to help them meet their goals, empowering them toward growth and change, and providing a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship.

I began my college education at Texas A&M University, where I studied Biomedical Science. After college, I spent a few years working in research laboratories and then took a break from working while raising my four children, who inspired and encouraged me to return to school to become a therapist. In 2019, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from CU Denver. I graduated in 2022 with my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. I am a trauma informed therapist. I am trained in EMDR and certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol. I implement Person Centered Therapy, Attachment Focused modalities, Mindfulness Based approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work.

I have been living in Colorado for the past 12 years with my family, and we love it here -- any day we can be outside together is a good day!

Everyone comes to counseling with their own unique story, challenges, and difficulties. As we partner together in counseling, I desire to walk with you as you navigate this season of your life and help you discover ways to write your story that brings you happiness and well-being. Maybe you have a specific goal you are trying to reach and would like some extra support, or perhaps you feel lost in your journey and need to experience understanding and healing. Wherever you are on your journey, I am eager to partner with you and help you overcome your challenges. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients of all ages, and I care deeply that our work together results in the outcomes you find beneficial.

I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health at Denver Seminary. My professional background is primarily in business, focusing on marketing and corporate development. However, I have extensive involvement with nonprofit organizations and volunteer groups that allow me to work with children and teens impacted by trauma and adults navigating life's difficulties. From these relationships and my own life story, I am convinced we all possess strengths and resilience that help us manage life in more positive ways. I am passionate about helping people connect with their strengths and overcome adversities.

My family and I have lived in different parts of the country and South Korea; however, we love calling Colorado home. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and being outdoors doing activities such as gardening, golfing, and reading books while sitting on the patio.

Keri Signoracci, BA, Intern

I wholeheartedly believe that being heard with non-judgmental ears and an open heart is one of the most critical skills to possess in life. It takes courage and vulnerability to seek therapy. My job is to provide an environment conducive to safety, security, and the necessary skills to help you feel more empowered and at peace.

I am a graduate student at Naropa University in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Clinical Counseling Program. I have extensive training and experience helping others find relief amidst internal and relationship distress in various forms, including parent and family coaching, relationship and couples counseling, divorce recovery, working with children, and teaching mindfulness-based therapies. I strive to bring a creative and eclectic approach to clients, with compassion and acceptance as the primary foundation. I am originally from New York, and my Italian roots are firmly embedded. I have lived in Boulder, Colorado, for the last thirty years and thoroughly enjoy the enriching simplicity of my animals, children, writing, and quiet time.
