Hello, My name is Cynthia "Does life become overwhelming and out of control at times and that feeling of being in control seems to go out the window? I help people during difficult periods of life whether it's caused by relationships with loved ones, illness, loss and grief, lifestyle changes caused by transitioning and being able to get to the reasons and ways to manage health issues and other issues that would affect your mental health well-being. 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 and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.

First Therapy Session Overview Session Structure Our initial session will begin with brief introductions. This allows us to get to know each other and establish a comfortable environment for open communication. Identifying Specific Challenges After introductions, we will focus on discussing the particular challenges you are currently experiencing. By understanding these issues in detail, I can develop a personalized plan that will guide our work together in future therapy sessions.
Strength-Based Practice Approach Introduction My practice is rooted in strength-based intervention, focusing on discovering and utilizing the unique strengths and natural capabilities of each client. Learning About Clients' Strengths To identify the individual strengths of my clients, I employ a combination of direct questioning and careful observation. Through asking thoughtful questions, I encourage clients to reflect on their skills and abilities. Additionally, I observe their body language, emotional responses, tone of voice, and behaviors to gain deeper insight into their innate talents. Utilizing Strengths for Positive Outcomes By recognizing and tapping into the skills each person possesses, I help clients leverage their strengths. This process enables them to feel energized, build higher levels of self-esteem, and enhance their overall well-being. Ultimately, clients are empowered to accomplish other desirable outcomes and achieve personal growth
My Role in Supporting Younger and Older Adults I am dedicated to serving the community by focusing on the needs of younger to older adults. My position allows me to listen to their concerns, understand their mindsets, and identify therapy goals that matter most to them. Collaborative Approach Together, we can work through the process of addressing these concerns and achieving therapy goals. By fostering collaboration, I strive to find solutions that lead to a happier and more fulfilling life for older adults. Positive Outcomes My commitment is to guide and support older adults throughout their journey, ensuring that we work together to achieve positive outcomes and make meaningful progress. .
