Hi, I’m Cinthya! I'm a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker working exclusively with adults ages 18+ for individual therapy. I do not work with minors, couples, or families at this time. In order to give you a glimpse of who I am and if we are a good fit, here are some of the points I believe in and stress with my clients: 1. Perfectionism doesn’t exist. 2. You’re stronger and more resilient than you think. 3. No one knows your life like you do. Only you know your truth. 4. Everyone can reach their goals and find the peace they deserve. 5. It takes courage to admit we need help and seek it. 6. Change starts with awareness. 7. There are many ways to see the same situation—challenge your perspective. 8. It’s okay to make mistakes. You’re human and that is a part of life. 9. Emotions are valid, even if they seem "wrong." What matters is how you respond. 10. Your worth is not determine by your productivity and/or how much you do for others. You are deserving of love and respect. With all of that said, my job is not to tell you how to live your life—I’m here to help you overcome your challenges while gaining a greater understanding of yourself.
First sessions are about exploring your immediate concerns and making sure we are a good fit. We will talk about a myriad of topics and decide on your treatment goals. Questions or concerns about therapy in general will be addressed, as well as — but not limited to — how to address emergencies and expectations of therapy overall.
I’ll describe my strengths as it relates to my “style” as a therapist. I hope to establish a safe space for you so you may talk freely and be yourself. I strive to show empathy by listening and making sure I understand where you’re coming from. To be frank, I would also say I'm a bit unorthodox— unorthodox in the sense that I do not like being rigid and engaging in the ”solum therapist trope.” I do understand my approach may not be -the- approach for all, and that is perfectly fine. My reason for this approach is that it is congruent to who I am as a person and what I believe, if given the choice, most would prefer. I’d prefer speaking to a responsive person as opposed to the tv stereotype of the “silent therapist”. We’re not just here to chat. We’re here to process and you will get feedback— if that’s what you want. It can be hard enough talking to a stranger about your problems as it is! I only wish to help in making that easier. I would hope to help others look at themselves without judgment and negativity, learn how to challenge negative/self-defeating thoughts, and, hopefully, take away from our sessions some positivity and encouragement. We must learn how to regard ourselves with the same grace we often give others.
I work with adults, from young adulthood to geriatric. Currently, I’m not working with couples, children, adolescents, or families.

My first session with Cinthya was very relaxing and balanced. I feel that I can open up to her about my feelings and past traumas. She was very warm and inviting. She came down to my level and spoke with me, not at me. I look forward to my next session with her.
