I have been a licensed marriage family therapist in California for over 27 years. I am what some people would call a "wounded healer", because I have been sober 35 years. I am also in recovery from co-dependency and love addiction. I believe anyone can change their life for the better, because I have changed mine for the better. If you love someone who does not love you back, I can help you STOP loving them and help you to start loving yourself. If you cannot say no, I can teach you how to say NO in a kind way and mean it.
In addition to the areas mentioned above, I can also help you to over come anxiety/panic and depression. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you to make the changes you want to make in your life. You are always in control of your therapy and you decide
I have been in the client's chair, so I know first hand that it takes courage to begin the journey to a better life. You do not have to journey alone ; I will be your companion. All journeys begin with the first step. Take that first step today.
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cynthia Cunningham. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Cynthia is and has been great help to keep me on my journey of healing.

I have been working with Cynthia for about a month. She is an amazing listener. She gives me concepts and ideas to stimulate my thinking between our sessions in the online chat which I really appreciate.
I also like the homework she gives me. I find talking through the difficult issues in my life with Cynthia is natural and uplifting. I always leave our sessions feeling better than when I called in.

Cynthia is always available to talk either in writing or via zoom. She is a good listener and helps you to look at your situation with an open mind. Her insights are always insightful and on target. She has helped me deal with some difficult family relationships and I have definitely grown as a result of her help.

I am beyond thankful for finding Cynthia! She has allowed me to fully express myself freely without judgement and that was my biggest fear when starting therapy. She listens and really takes everything in that you are saying and makes you feel seen and heard. Thank you, Cynthia! I am beyond grateful for you.

Cynthia is a wonderful therapist. An empathetic, active listener who offers useful insight. It is easy to talk to her since she approaches each session with a supportive, non-judgmental attitude. You can tell she cares about her work and clients. She is proactive in checking-in and helpful in referring you to relevant resources. I highly recommend Cynthia!

It was pleasure working with Cynthia. I highly recommend her. She helped to guide me in the right direction and understood my issue very well.
Written on Jan 22, 2023 after therapy with Cynthia for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and anger management
I would recommend Cynthia Cunningham to lots of people. I think she has a unique niche for working with me as a first responder. Not sure how she developed this skill, cause I don't know her to have experience as a first responder. She is able to help me work on myself in a way I can not explain. Most therapists look tu react or make comments about my life experience that suggest my life is kind of crazy. But Cynthia Cunningham is able to hear me and understand my line of work dose make me more prone to trauma & instead of suggesting I leave the work place like several other therapists have she provides me a tool box of methods to work through the inevitable.

Cynthia is amazing!
Written on Dec 31, 2022 after therapy with Cynthia for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and self esteem
Cynthia has been the loveliest experience of a first therapist. It is exactly what I needed at this time in my life, and in just a couple months I'm already feeling changes in my mindset and in my life. I feel very seen and validated and feel like when I'm talking with Cynthia I can be completely honest about myself which is a beautiful thing. She has helped me acknowledge and move through pain I was too intimidated to face on my own. Yay!! Would definitely recommend to my close family members and to anyone.

Cynthia is a wonderful person. As someone who is new to therapy she didn't make me feel like I was being picked and prodded as I thought it would be like. She helps me understand my emotions and what they mean and helps me think logically and critically for my own benefit. She helps me feel like a human being again.
Written on Oct 08, 2022 after therapy with Cynthia for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
Cynthia is fantastic, she's a wonderful listener and provides great advice as well as helpful insights. I was very nervous to embark on this journey but couldn't be happier with matching with Cynthia and how I feel after just a couple short weeks.
Thank you, Cynthia.

Cynthia is not only a highly knowledgeable, skilled and competent therapist but also her authenticity, enthusiasm and compassion shine through. Her approach is dynamic yet also grounded in solid theory and she tailors her approach to individual needs. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Cynthia is so open and understanding. She is patient in getting to know you and what you're focused on healing, she gives advice and even recommends videos and articles that will help better you. This is my first time in therapy and after my experience with Cynthia as my therapist I definitely won't be going back to before I ever started therapy. I would definitely suggest Cynthia as your therapist! :)

Cynthia is an amazing therapist and person! I’ve been working with her for a few months and progressed a lot. She is a great listener and gives space for me to share my thoughts without any feeling of judgement. sometimes she’ll send articles with helpful advice/ tips and I appreciate her thought provoking questions. Ive realized aspects about myself that I’ve never thought to reflect on before.

Cynthia has been great. I communicate with her the way I feel most comfortable and she doesn’t push me to do it another way. And she gets back to me so quickly! She is also clearly listening and knows what she is talking about. I’ve only been talking to her a couple weeks, but she has already pointed things out that I never realized before.

I've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time and finally made a move when in a crucial and difficult life transition. Cynthia is my first therapist and I am surprised how great the experience has been and it’s not even 2 months yet. I was even able to get insights from her in our first session. She is a great listener, responds quickly, and always checks in with you. I definitely recommend her.

I am amazed at BetterHelp's capability to select a therapist that seems perfect for me. Cynthia seems to know what I am going through and have the perfect questions to help me get to the root of the issues. Prior to therapy with Cynthia, I had a hard time really opening up 100%. So the kind of questions Cynthia gave me helped tremendously because it allowed for me to be transparent with myself. I noticed significant improvement in my moods and behavior within a week of therapy with Cynthia. I'm very busy so I love that I can message Cynthia any time during the day and get a same-day response. I wholeheartedly recommend Cynthia.

Cynthia is warm and kind. But perhaps more importantly, In just a couple of sessions, she has shown me how uncommonly incisive and insightful she is. This is not my first foray into talk therapy. I have had great and not-so-great therapists. She definitely lives among the former.
