Cindia Estrada
Hi there, I'm Cindia! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 6 years of experience and hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a Holistic Studies specialization from John F. Kennedy University School of Psychology at National University.
My practice focuses on introverts who need space to recharge and highly sensitive people (HSPs) who may feel overstimulated and overwhelmed, including college students, working professionals, and people navigating career transitions.
I value quality over quantity. My boutique private practice, Integrative Wellness Counseling, is intentionally smaller, with a limited number of clients and appointments each week. This model allows me to prioritize my own self-care, which helps me show up more fully for my clients and provide high-quality care. I intentionally leave space between appointments rather than scheduling clients back-to-back, so sessions don’t feel rushed. When appropriate, I may also take time outside of sessions to research resources or tools to support your individual wellness goals. I get it. It is becoming more difficult to find balance in a rapidly changing world. Increasing work and personal demands, constant connectivity, and the pace of modern life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated. I’m passionate about guiding clients to slow down, regulate their nervous system, and create more balance in their lives.
First session
During our first session, I’ll welcome you, briefly introduce myself, review confidentiality, and address your questions. We’ll spend most of the session completing an initial holistic assessment to understand what areas of your life may be contributing to imbalance and collaborate to identify preliminary wellness goals.
Strengths
I utilize a holistic and integrative perspective to support your wellness. Holistic means that I consider the whole person by taking into consideration different areas of your life that may impact your well-being. Integrative means that I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches and tailor interventions to best meet your individual needs.
Ideal clients
I support adults (18 and older) with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety, and depression. My practice focuses on introverts who need space to recharge and highly sensitive people (HSPs) who may feel overstimulated and overwhelmed, including college students, working professionals, and people navigating career transitions. I provide telehealth (video) therapy services through a HIPAA-compliant platform for clients who reside in California
Origin story
Counseling is my second career. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in marketing for over 10 years, primarily in the security software technology industry in the Bay Area. I decided to make this transition to better align my career with my values of holistic wellness, self-care, personal growth, minimalism, and helping others.
Ongoing work together
I take a collaborative approach to your wellness goals. To set goals, I take the time to listen to what you have in mind and offer personalized recommendations informed by my holistic and integrative perspective. To help you reach your goals, I monitor your progress through your feedback, evidence-based questionnaires, and my clinical observations.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I utilize a holistic and integrative perspective to support your wellness. Holistic means that I consider the whole person by taking into consideration the different areas of your life that may impact your well-being—including emotional, cognitive, physical, relational, cultural, spiritual/religious (if applicable), and lifestyle factors. Integrative means that I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches and create a custom recipe—an individualized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
