About Cynthia Rumford-Jones

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are in the right place at the right time, and I commend you for your courage and follow-through.

My name is Cynthia Rumford-Jones and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW), welcome to my BetterHelp Therapist profile!

Life is pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require support and therapeutic interventions to achieve the balance and overall wellness we may desire . Today is a good day as you have taken one of the most important steps towards elevating your wellness and living a life you love; you are “taking action”.

My educational background includes a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor, and an additional 10 years working in the field of social work and human services, public and private sectors. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to life transitions, anger management, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, and foster care.

I am also experienced in grief/loss, eating disorders, and challenges related to divorce and separation, multi-cultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and chronic mental illness.

CLINICAL APPROACHES
My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I utilize a client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy approach with a solution focused perspective, and have training and extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC). As a conscientious therapist it is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment and offer a style and approach that best fits the needs of each individual.

I know finding a therapist who is a “good fit” is key to the overall effectiveness and successful outcome of therapy and the task of doing so can be quite arduous. May your mission to find that “good fit” be accomplished swiftly.

If you are ready to take the next step, I’m here and looking forward to partnering with you to create a treatment plan with specific and structured goals that meet your specific needs, as well supporting and empowering you as you strive to elevate your wellness.

“Cynthia has allowed me to be vulnerable with parts of my life that I have not shared with anyone. She has remained unbiased and offered tools that we serve as lifelong resources that I can utilize throughout my life. I am grateful to have been paired with her as my therapist.”

“Cynthia Rumford-Jones is a blessing to me. I have searched for years to find a therapist who understands me, that I feel comfortable and connected to and Cynthia is the right one for me. I feel so seen and heard by her. I appreciate having her as my therapist. I feel confident that I will get the help I truly need with her.”

“Cynthia is amazing. Personable, compassionate, relatable, and kind. I’m so happy to have her as a resource in my life!”

“Cynthia is very well versed and knowledgeable. She is easy to open up to and I can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients. Best therapist I have ever had by far!!!”

“Cynthia has helped me navigate and offload past traumas and childhood upbringings while also serving almost as a life coach in the present moments. From day one, it felt like she had been my therapist for years already, and I credit that to the personality, tone, and messaging she brings. The sessions hit a great balance of feeling like a casual talk while also bringing in specific jargon of topics pertaining to psychology. <br /> <br /> Most importantly Cynthia listens, feels like a safe space, and brings in a great effort on remembering the details which is impressive given the high volume of humans therapists will serve. Given that thought, each session feels so personal and focused on you.<br /> <br /> I would highly recommend Cynthia for first timers, those looking for a less uptight experience, or anyone who may need a fresh perspective.”

“Cynthia has been such a blessing for us. She is a safe space, while holding us accountable. We feel extremely grateful to have been matched with her.”

“I always love my therapy sessions with Cynthia. She’s amazingly supportive always pushing me to be a better me.”

“Cynthia got a great ear, she is able to capture what you are expressing in a very caring and understanding way. She has an open mind and its easy to explore oneself with her. She feels very safe to be around. At the same time she is very effective and on point. Thank you, Cynthia”

“Awesome experience.”

“Cynthia has become someone I truly rely on to help me maintain my path through my growth. I am so glad I found her!”

“Cynthia is an incredible therapist. She listens intently, offers practical wisdom along with therapeutic tools. I have come so far in a short amount of time; I'm able to move through things that were bottled up for so long. Cynthia practices out of a calling and I'm grateful to have been paired with her! So much good has come of it.”

“Therapy sessions with Cynthia have been so beneficial for me that I wish I would have signed up a long time ago. The mental and emotional growth feels extremely good and I have Cynthia to thank for that.”

“Cynthia is an amazing therapist. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and truly listens. I always feel supported, understood, and more grounded after our sessions. I’m very grateful for her care and guidance.”

“Being 62 I have seen my share of therapists and I must say that Cynthia has been by far the best therapist I have ever seen. She has real assignments and real input , not looking at her watch with 5 min on the clock, asking about next week or the following. I love her and from me thats a lot!”
