I have worked in the human service field for approximately 20 years. I have had the pleasure of working with mental health, developmentally disabled and substance abuse populations. I have worked with Assisted Medication Management and active military members and their families. My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment—a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing them from living the life they want. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Supervisor. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Therapy and psycho-education extensively. My experience includes working with clients dealing with divorce and single-parenting, addictions, grief, women’s issues, and mood disorders, among other challenges. I find that my great passion is working with individuals and children.

I am Cynia R. Black: daughter, sister, friend, and spirited clinical therapist. My goal is to support individuals , couples and families through life's difficult moments. Over the last 8 years, I have gained most of my experience working in the intensive in-home and outpatient mental health setting as a Family Consultant with youth ages birth to 12 years old, and a Family Therapist with families of youth ages 10 to 17 years old. With this work, I have developed a strong passion for working alongside young adults on a very integral part of their journey- transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. I have observed that oftentimes adolescents have been perceived by society as being "difficult" and "incapable" of change rather than seeing them as people who are trying to adapt to a transition in which they feel like they have no control. As a therapist, I am committed to empowering and supporting my clients by increasing resiliency, and positive well being, and helping to develop sustainable coping strategies. I am looking forward to doing this work and continuing this journey together with you!

I am originally from a small town in rural southeastern NC. We are home to the World’s Largest Frying Pan, however, I don’t remember any events of it being used! I worked in the mental health and substance use arenas for a total of 10 years before I decided to become a therapist. I noticed as a case manager we help clients with their external needs food, transportation, securing employment, and independent living skills. If someone is holding on to past traumatic events or new ones, they will not be able to function as a whole person. My goal as a therapist is to help people help themselves. We can be the villain in our own story, but we must learn how to eventually save ourselves. In therapy, after identifying the problem or root(s) of the problem, clients tend to solely focus on it. In counseling, I utilize several therapies and techniques, such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and how to better manage distress. We challenge negative thoughts, feelings, and irrational fears. We work on identifying what Living Your Best Life looks like. We utilize solution-focused techniques to learn how to help ourselves better. Our first session is basically a “get to know you” and “get to know me” encounter. You identify what you desire to address and we go from there.
