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.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cynthia Rumford-Jones. 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 has helped me navigate and offload past traumas and childhood upbringings while also serving almost as a life coach in the present moments. From day one, it felt like she had been my therapist for years already, and I credit that to the personality, tone, and messaging she brings. The sessions hit a great balance of feeling like a casual talk while also bringing in specific jargon of topics pertaining to psychology.

Most importantly Cynthia listens, feels like a safe space, and brings in a great effort on remembering the details which is impressive given the high volume of humans therapists will serve. Given that thought, each session feels so personal and focused on you.

I would highly recommend Cynthia for first timers, those looking for a less uptight experience, or anyone who may need a fresh perspective.

Cynthia got a great ear, she is able to capture what you are expressing in a very caring and understanding way. She has an open mind and its easy to explore oneself with her. She feels very safe to be around. At the same time she is very effective and on point. Thank you, Cynthia
