About
Hello and welcome! My name is Cynthia and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker through the State of Michigan for the last 20 years. My practice however, has been within the State of Florida throughout my 20 years as an LCSW. I have worked with an array of clients specific to unique populations and within rural/urban areas, hospitals, outpatient clinics and homeless outreach services. Unique experiences that I have gained working with specific populations include Veterans, caregivers, elder/geriatric/hospice care, and LGBTQ populations. I currently work in rural areas of the Florida Keys, providing mental health services and in treating mood disorders, addictions and many other complex issues. I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist in treating substance use disorders and addictions and have been trained in other therapeutic modalities to include motivational interviewing and seeking safety. Some of presenting cases and diagnosis that I am most familiar with working and treating include mood disorders (depression, anxiety and bipolar disorders), post traumatic stress disorders, military sexual trauma and traumatic brain injury.
I also have extensive knowledge and experience with guardianship processes, advance directives and durable power of attorney questions and concerns.
My counseling style is warm, interactive and inclusive. I provide a lot of encouragement and motivation to participate and engage in therapeutic sessions as this allows the process to establish a trusting therapeutic rapport and level of communication necessary to understand, treat and provide the mental health support you are seeking and deserve. As our therapy process evolves, I will collaboratively work with you to create a treatment plan that best meets your unique and specific needs.
As your potential Therapist, I applaud your courage and tenacity to seek a fulfilling and happier life by recognizing and taking the first steps towards positive change. As you further journey towards the steps of making change, I am here to be of support and empower you along the way.
I look forward to working with you!
