About Cynthia Moses

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas and Missouri for over 20 years. In my years working as a social worker, I have worked in a variety of settings, including private practice for over 15 years, where I have provided counseling services to individuals, couples, families and groups. I have experience working with adults of all ages, children and adolescents. I have worked with survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse, as well as survivors of domestic violence and other traumas. I also have experience in working with clients who are attempting to manage grief and all types of loss, as well as anger and emotional management and all forms of anxiety and panic disorders, including agoraphobia. In addition, I have also worked with couples on gaining clarity in their commitment to each other, improving their communication, understanding of themselves individually and as a couple and in building/rebuilding their trust, respect and affection for each other.

My treatment approach is warm, open and welcoming to all clients and their life experiences. I attempt to find commonality in experiences in building rapport and use this commonality to normalize clients feelings and experiences. I partner with clients in developing their realistic and achievable goals for treatment, as well as working toward those goals. It is my belief that all of us have the answers to our problems, but obstacles sometimes obscure those answers; therefore, my role as counselor is to partner with and assist clients in exploring and minimizing their obstacles in order to clearly see their solutions and formulate the appropriate response to those solutions. I recognize that it takes an aware and determined person to take the steps to improve their life; I honor my client’s decision to enhance their life.

I am here to assist and empower you on your journey to better well-being. Taking the first step to sign up for individual therapy can take courage and commitment and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to hearing from you!

“One of the greatest.”

“I've had 2 sessions with Cynthia thus far and both have brought me clarity. She is a helpful sounding board for me to bounce ideas off and discuss my next steps.”

“Cynthia is very supportive, understanding, and is great with communication. Works with you in ways that work for you truly.”

“She is very consistent in showing her genuine interest in being of aid to me and consistently checks on me sometimes more than anyone else in my life and hasn’t discarded me with my inability to have better communication with her and still doesn’t allow my inabilities and lack thereof to have her mission in helping others sway and I really appreciate that because so much more often lately than not have been feeling extremely unworthy and at anyone’s disposal when I no longer benefit them.”

“Thank you for being so kind and understanding”

“I am involved in the social work field so I have experience with many therapists. Cynthia’s professional expertise is obvious and her insights are enlightening.”

“Cynthia is a wealth of knowledge. She feels more like a mentor and friend than a therapist. Her thoughtful and structured approach has been great so far.”

“She's a good therapist, listens to you and engages when it's the right time”

“Cynthia has been kind and supportive from the start. It feels like she truly cares and wants people to put in effort on themselves!”

“Cynthia listens to what you are say and is able to communicate it back in a therapeutic way. It helps to hear what you're really trying to say or get across. She is gentle but tenacious, pushing you to be your best self for yourself.”

“Cynthia is able to communicate with me in a way that helps me identify the causes of my stressors and offers helpful tools to alleviate them.”

“Cynthia is talented at understanding many perspectives and helping me understand the perspectives of those I interact with.”

“Cynthia has been incredibly helpful in my journey so far. Super kind, conscientious, and supportive.”

“Cynthia Moses is perfect for me. She understands and offers realistic solutions and valuable perspectives on my unique situation.”

“Cynthia has an incredible understanding of trauma not just from the emotional, but from the physical and energetic aspects of its affects as well. Also, her insight has been incredibly helpful in understanding at a very core level that the abuse I endured was in no way my fault. She's very compassionate as well. I highly recommend Cynthia!”
