About Cynthia Jenkins

I am a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) with over 30 years of experience counseling in various settings such as low-income communities and in university, senior citizen, and community counseling centers.

I have taught psychology at various universities in Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri. For over ten years, I trained post-graduate students in aspects of psychology that they will need to know to pass their board exams in medicine and dentistry to become future healers.

I hold a PD. in Social Psychology through which I’ve explored conflicts (social, ethnic, political…) in various countries. I was also a Licenced Massage Therapist for over 30 years.

I love to travel in order to interact with people from various cultural, political and spiritual perspectives to understand them and hone my understanding of myself in relation to others. I love the creative crafts and artistic expression categories.

I come from a very eclectic family background via racial, religious, educational, social, judicial, political and sexual orientations.

This being said, I am, thus, eclectic in my approach to counseling. I welcome clients where they are at and strive to explore where they are willing to go mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually to feel better and to achieve their dreams.

Also, I have to add, I adore the outdoors and have been a proponent of the environment since I was a child. I still love to play in the rain.

“Cynthia, these last 2 sessions, has been great! She is very engaging, asks questions that help be think through what I am feeling. Validates and helps me understand myself more. She is very kind and considerate!”

“I absolutely love the support and patience Cynthia offers during our sessions. I was trying out BetterHelp for a week but I have been here for 2-3 weeks now and do not plan on stopping use of this app because of her.”

“I appreciate Cynthia for her patience and making me feel welcomed. It felt amazing being able to actually talk and know i’m being listened too.. thank you!”

“I had an exceptional experience working with Cynthia Jenkins. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine dedication to her clients were evident from start to finish. She went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met and provided insightful guidance throughout the process. I felt valued and supported every step of the way. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a top-notch professional who truly cares about their clients' success.”

“At first I was nervous to start talking to anyone about the inner-workings of ‘me’, but Cynthia eased that fear right away. I was about 5 minutes into my first session when I realized that she is amazing, she can help me; and she is a caring, helpful, experienced, and wonderful human. It feels more like speaking to an old friend, that just so happens to make me think about myself and my life in a different way. She helps me dive into my feelings and thoughts. She cares about me, but also what’s important to me and my overall health. I’ve only just begun with Cynthia, but I’m very excited to see my progress!”

“Cynthia has been a godsend. I haven’t had an outlet to express everything in my life for a long time and I'm glad I was put with her! She has made me feel incredibly comfortable and safe with my feelings. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Ms. Cynthia Jenkins is breath of fresh air. She listens, she interprets the information, and quality advice about the situation. Very mother-esque”

“Cynthia has been amazing. We really clicked. I could talk to her all day! Highly recommend.”

“Ms. Cynthia Jenkins is an angel. She listens to what I have to say and then assesses what I need to know to become a better person”

“cynthia has a different way of doing therapy, our first session i had with her, she mainly focus on having me have a creative outlet again. she also is starting to help to figure out triggers i have for anxiety. she is truly a great person and a easy person to talk to.”

“I've been talking with Cynthia for about a month now. I really connect with her and can hold fluid conversations that always seem to fly by. She takes a different approach than I am used to, and I really appreciate it.”

“Cynthia is very empathetic and listens. She will call you out and push you to really explore the issues you are having beyond the surface.”
