About me

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are in the right place at the right time, and I commend you for your courage and follow-through.

My name is Cynthia Rumford-Jones and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW), welcome to my BetterHelp Therapist profile!

Life is pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require support and therapeutic interventions to achieve the balance and overall wellness we may desire . Today is a good day as you have taken one of the most important steps towards elevating your wellness and living a life you love; you are “taking action”.

My educational background includes a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor, and an additional 10 years working in the field of social work and human services, public and private sectors. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to life transitions, anger management, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, and foster care.

I am also experienced in grief/loss, eating disorders, and challenges related to divorce and separation, multi-cultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and chronic mental illness.

CLINICAL APPROACHES
My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I utilize a client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy approach with a solution focused perspective, and have training and extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC). As a conscientious therapist it is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment and offer a style and approach that best fits the needs of each individual.

I know finding a therapist who is a “good fit” is key to the overall effectiveness and successful outcome of therapy and the task of doing so can be quite arduous. May your mission to find that “good fit” be accomplished swiftly.

If you are ready to take the next step, I’m here and looking forward to partnering with you to create a treatment plan with specific and structured goals that meet your specific needs, as well supporting and empowering you as you strive to elevate your wellness.

Greatly appreciate Cynthia!

Cynthia is an incredible therapist. She listens intently, offers practical wisdom along with therapeutic tools. I have come so far in a short amount of time; I'm able to move through things that were bottled up for so long. Cynthia practices out of a calling and I'm grateful to have been paired with her! So much good has come of it.

Therapy sessions with Cynthia have been so beneficial for me that I wish I would have signed up a long time ago. The mental and emotional growth feels extremely good and I have Cynthia to thank for that.

Cynthia is an amazing therapist. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and truly listens. I always feel supported, understood, and more grounded after our sessions. I’m very grateful for her care and guidance.

In a very short amount of time Cynthia has heard me, assessed, and used her expertise to give me some real tools, and genuine advice with my situation. I feel like she is objective in every way and hits me with real words and me hits me with advice that I can apply immediately. Without knowing her experience I can tell that she has experience not just in her dream but in her life. She has been amazing for me I don’t know where I’d be without her.
