About me

Hi, My name is Cindy. Thank you for looking at my profile.

Before I tell you about my experience and education, I would like to tell you a little bit about my approaches to counseling. First and foremost, please know that your healing and your journey is important to me. Therefore, along the way I will ask you if my approaches are working for you and if you are comfortable with them. I will also welcome your feedback at any time as well. That being said, I am trained in both traditional and non-traditional counseling techniques. I like to use both. I am formally trained in Client Centered ( Carl Rogers ) techniques. These techniques are designed to help you feel heard and have your feelings validated. Please know that you deserve this. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on ways in which your thinking may be causing you stress/distress.

I love a holistic approach to therapy, therefore, I received extra training in the Expressive Arts. This may sound scary to those of you who are not artists, but being an artist has nothing to do with expressive art. Expressive art is a means of expressing yourself and discovering your true inner feelings, inner voice and inner power. Instead of just talking about your issues/concerns, I would encourage you to draw them, paint them, dance them out, write them out,. etc. Whatever feels comfortable for you. The whole point of these modalities, is to move blocked energy (issues) out of your body which holds memory. Memories are not just stored in your brain. The body remembers and the body reacts. Especially to trauma. But you don't have to have been traumatized to benefit from these techniques. Expressive Art can help you with self esteem issues, depression, anxiety, motivation, life decisions, career choices, eating disorders and sleeping problems. No one ever has to see your artwork or see you move in an expressive and meaningful way.

I also love and have experience with Inner Child Work. It is very effective and not at all scary.

Ideally, I like to combine both traditional therapies with some form of the Expressive Arts. They reinforce each other. But, ultimately, it is up to you and what works best for you. I also like to teach various powerful visualizations.

I received my Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts in January of 2001. I became licensed in 2007. I received a Certificate in The Facilitation of Expressive Arts from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island in 2007. I have over 22 years of experience working with both men and women and with families and children of all ages.

I look forward to working with you.
Thank you and Namaste, (the spirit in me honors the spirit in you)
Cindy

Cynthia has been amazing and has helped me in so many ways thru my traumatic childhood experiences and current relationship issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and very down to earth and easy to talk to. She goes above and beyond each week and I am very thankful for her.

Cindy has been incredibly helpful. I am more confident and so much stronger because of her and have recommended Better Help to friends and family because of how much she has helped me.

After working with Cynthia for a couple of months, I was able to feel incredibly comfortable with her. She gives honest advice, and is a candid person which makes her very easy to relate to. Cynthia helped me deal with some life changes I had been struggling with, all while offering objective thoughts and probing me to think about situations differently. I’ve enjoyed my conversations with her, and she has been a positive addition during so many changes!
