LMFT, 16 years of experience
Hello, I'm Cynthia. I have been a therapist or 12 years and I love what I do even after all this time. I love helping people understand how their mind works and how to help it to function most optimally. I started my career in New York working with children and adolescents in a school based mental health agency. When I moved to Florida I worked in community mental health but then moved in to dual diagnosis treatment centers where I would help people working to recovery from addiction and other mental health issues. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist so I have a systemic perspective and understand the importance of recovery needing to happen on all levels mind, body, spirit. My work in the addictions field led me to seek a certification in Hypnotherapy which I have found to be highly beneficial in quickly getting to the root of the problems and working to reduce negative habits and thought patterns and replace them more more empowering beliefs which in turn helps to positively influence behavior.
I help individuals and families manage anxiety and depressive symptoms and find joy in their lives again. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate hypnotherapy, to help you discover unwanted limiting beliefs and reprogram the subconscious to aid in developing a stronger relationship with yourself, making it easier to realize your goals and improve your sense of wellbeing.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion while using evidence-based techniques, such as CBT/ DBT/ EFT and guided imagery so you can overcome negative habits or perspectives that have been holding you back.
My biggest strength is how much I truly enjoy doing what I do and connecting authentically with those I work with.
I provide mental health services for individuals and families who struggle with mental health issues, trauma, and/or relationship issues.
