As a licensed therapist in Missouri, Kentucky, and New Jersey, I bring 25 years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their inner experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.

I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, LGBTQ+,and life transitions. My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals navigate complex emotional landscapes, from workplace stress to relationship dynamics, with particular expertise in supporting young adults, caregivers, and those experiencing significant personal transformations.

My practice is deeply committed to understanding each client’s unique journey. I offer a progressive, affirming approach that honors individual experiences and empowers clients to develop stronger self-understanding, communication skills, and emotional resilience. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, processing major life changes, or seeking deeper self-connection, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

“Cindi is a compassionate and very understanding therapist”

“She’s awesome !”

“Cindi's knowledge is broad yet exactly what I need. She's inflappable, supportive, and decisive. Im so grateful I found her when I desperately needed direction.”

“Very understanding and compassionate”

“Makes the session feel very personal and less rigid. She really listens to what I have to say and tells me what I need to hear, not just what I want to hear.”

“Cynthia is very kind and listens to me. She is an old soul with life experience. I enjoy our sessions together.”

“Very compassionate and understanding therapist!<br /> Really appreciate it!”

“Cindi is a dedicated professional giving realistic expectations around overcoming obstacles around mental health. Shes grounded in science and facts which is a breath of fresh air!”

“Cindi is attentive, encouraging, compassionate & respectful. Her approach is very welcoming and she always knows how to navigate any emotion, or situation I may be having a difficult time navigating alone. I would recommend her to anyone I know and love!”

“From just my “intro”, Cindi immediately grasped onto what I said (and I said A LOT) and she was ready with a game plan for our first call. She made me feel heard, supported, and really connected, especially since it’s through phone call. She responds quickly & is very flexible with the times I need. Out of all the therapists I’ve had, she’s the best! She is very thorough with understanding how my mental health issue is in my mind and how WE can overcome it. I have so much more to say, but I would be writing a book. Great therapist! Thank you, Cindi!”

“The best there ever was and ever will be!!!”

“I truly appreciate Cindi listening to me. I feel that she understands my situations and she has given me very helpful advice in helping me to handle my issues. She helps me to realize it is a process and that it’s not going to happen quickly. I value her advice and I look forward to our sessions.”

“Excellent, understanding and very compassionate therapist”

“Honest and open, grounded and will give you a chance to be heard. Thorough in their responses and approach. Would highly recommend Cynthia.”

“Cynthia is seriously amazing and so understanding of my busy schedule. Shes just an amazing person!”
