Hi, I’m Cinthya! Here’s what I believe: 1. Perfectionism doesn’t exist. 2. You’re stronger and more resilient than you think, so give yourself credit. 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. 9. Emotions are valid, even if they seem "wrong." What matters is how you respond. My job is not to tell you how to live your life—I’m here to help you discover what you want out of life and guide you toward it with a greater understanding of yourself. I look forward to working with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First sessions are about exploring your immediate concerns and making sure we are a good fit. We discussed any questions or concerns about therapy in general, how to address emergencies, and expectations of therapy overall.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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 when often give others.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

We will explore how negative thoughts can lead to emotions, which then could lead to problematic behaviors.
