New to Grow
My name is CynDee Pakyurek, PhD. I am a licensed psychologist in California (License PSY33716). I completed my graduate studies at California School of Professional Psychology. I was employed at Mayo Health System, Minnesota, for several years before I moved back to California, where I now work in private practice. I see clients both virtually and in-person. I know it may be difficult to take that first step to seek help. I believe that prioritizing mental health is a key to a happier, stable life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will consist of an intake where I gather information regarding your life history because everyone is unique. Our follow-up sessions will consist of listening to your worries, setting goals, and leading you through various strategies to help you feel more satisfied with life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am warm, genuine, and listen well. I strive to create an environment that will allow you the comfort of sharing your story and discussing what you hope to achieve in therapy. It's important to me that you feel listened to, respected, and supported during our time together. You are very welcome here.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with children, families, and adults. I am a general psychologist and work with a variety of problems, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and adjustment issues. I also specialize in ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. I use a variety of treatment modalities, such as Cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, Emotion-focused, and EMDR.
