I am grateful to have the opportunity to introduce myself and be of service. I'm Dr. Cynthia Jo Rasmussen "Cindy" and my home of origin was a small farming community in Iowa indigenous to the Lakota Indians. Within this community was my first lesson to respect each person regardless of their journey or challenges. Although my formal training led me to four degrees, my appreciation for people, honesty, trust, non-judgment, and compassion came from those early years in Iowa. Since earning my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology, I have had many post graduate courses that has enhanced my knowledge and expanded my cultural awareness. My SHEN training took me to British Columbia and transpersonal psychology work drew me to both coasts and overseas. Quite recently, I became trained as a UZIT (Urban Zen Integrative Therapist) . Those modalities have been invaluable to provide comfort and support to my clients especially those experiencing anxiety, depression, sadness, grief, and exhaustion. I've worked with the young who have a long way to go, the old who have come a long way, and those in between doing their work. ( From the work of Angeles Arrien) When a client comes before me, I am open to outcome. Like a detective, I strive to see below the surface. As Alberto Villoldo would say, " I want to assist you in dreaming your dream into being." Throughout my career I have researched healing and the process of finding one's soul desire. Client centered might best describe my counseling style but I draw upon the plethora of theories I've studied such as Motivational Interviewing, SHEN, Transpersonal, Psychosynthesis, Jung, Adlerian and too many more to mention. My specialty is my client. What you bring to me will be held in a loving and supportive way. I value trust and honesty. I appreciate that you are taking a step. As your counselor, you can be assured that I will be present in a compassionate and caring way. You are not alone and will be supported. I look forward to working with you, Dr. Cynthia
