Sometimes, the most profound connections are formed when someone truly listens.I’m Cintia, here not just to hear, but to deeply understand you. In a world where trauma and anxiety often drown out our inner voices, I know that beneath the spoken words, lies a heart’s true narrative. What a degree in Clinical Psychology and a seven-year journey as a therapist has allowed me to is delve deep into the realms of trauma, anxiety, and depression. While these are my primary focuses, I also bring profound insights into PTSD, intricate family dynamics, relationship challenges, and concerns faced by the LGBTQ community.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+, adults, couples, and families. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy based in California. I have been a practicing clinician for 3.5 years and I've worked in the Mental Health field for a total of 11 years. My approach is eclectic; I work primarily from a modern Psychodynamic Therapy approach and implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies. I believe that by ‘making the unconscious, conscious’ and better understanding the “why” we can then take actionable steps to create positive change. I believe we all have the essential tools within ourselves needed to build a better and safer space, a place where we can flourish into the people we always thought we could be. At times, we may find ourselves feeling lost in the midst of our daily functions, perhaps even feeling hopeless or chaotic. As an empathic and non-judgmental listener, I am up for the task of helping you uncover those tools. Let’s get you there. You are your own greatest strength.

Reaching out for help can be a very vulnerable experience, but also a great attribute of strength and resilience. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma in their life. Whether it's from childhood neglect, sexual assault, natural disaster, sudden death or other life circumstances. Trauma often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life, and can be challenging and painful to navigate. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle. I work to empower clients to understand and alter unhealthy cycles to strengthen and better their lives. I am fluent in ASL American Sign Language and have worked with Deaf clients leaving domestic violence in both a shelter and outpatient therapy services. I have spent 2 years in correctional settings working with severely mentally ill patients and supporting their family members navigating having children with mental illness. I have also spent 2 years working with foster youth and foster parents in providing support to their placements, promoting healing and preserving relationships. Note that online scheduling is limited. Broader scheduling options will be available to regularly scheduling clients. Please also note that I do not provide opinions about disability or fitness to return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request for such opinion is made.

Together, we will build your self-worth and find confidence within your Self as you navigate life and all of its complex transitions. Specializing in complex trauma and the abandonment wound as both a personal survivor and clinical professional, I have over a decade of experience providing trauma-informed educational services, mental/emotional health therapy, and grief counseling to all age groups from elementary-aged children to elders transitioning into death. Services I provide include: strengths-based talk therapy, art/creative therapy, psychoeducation/coping skills, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Depth/Jungian psychotherapy, and shadow work.

Hola~Aloha Welcome, Bienvenidos y E komo mai! I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Art Therapist (ATR), Clinical Eco-Therapist, Certified 500 hour Yoga Teacher, and a Holy Fire Reiki Master. I help people improve their lives by increasing mindful awareness of one’s thought and speech patterns that perpetuate limitations. Together, we’ll cultivate mindfulness, reframe beliefs, and create opportunities for growth and empowerment. Rooted in my diverse Native American Mexica, Spanish, and European heritage, I bring a holistic, culturally grounded approach to therapy sessions. My personal Souljorn has taken me across Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Hawaiian Islands, where I explored culture, permaculture, meditation, various healing arts, spirituality, and indigenous ceremonies. These experiences frame and influence my life and therapy work. I am inspired to help clients align with their Higher Self and conscious awareness. My Bachelor’s degree is in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley and my Master’s in Psychology and Art Therapy, where I studied neuroplasticity and techniques like Art Therapy and later found the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping. The EFT approach helps acknowledge unhelpful thoughts and emotions, so you can honor and release them instead of avoiding them. This empowers one to transform and shift challenging thoughts and emotions and experience change. In my early career I worked in community clinics, schools, homes, and wilderness therapy programs. Now I primarily provide services online to California residents in private practice. If you are ready, let us assess your needs and desires and identify your goals. Whether you’re seeking to release old patterns, deepen your connection to yourself, and embrace your experience and or embrace new possibilities, I’m here to support your healing journey with compassion, care and purpose. The time for transformation is now. We are the ones we have been waiting for! If this connects for you, let us begin! Aloha

Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice with more than 10 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples. My speciality is the ability to use my training and experience in ways clients need and want; in other words, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I have found that talk therapy as part of a holistic approach to well-being works best for most people.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take L.A. Care Covered Direct?

Yes! If you use L.A. Care Covered Direct you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have L.A. Care Covered Direct you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
