Cynthia Watson, LISW-CP
About me
As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship dynamics. I'm particularly passionate about working with older adults, women, and young professionals experiencing transitions, isolation, or seeking deeper self-understanding.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on communication, self-love, and personal growth. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients explore workplace challenges, family dynamics, sexuality, and life purpose. Whether you're processing a significant life transition like divorce, managing workplace stress, or addressing family-of-origin experiences, I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment.
I believe each person's journey is unique, and my role is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you discover your inner strengths and navigate personal healing.

Very kind and to the point! Wants to help you as much as you want to help yourself. Will engage with you and provide content to read outside of sessions to help if you choose.
