Since graduating from New York University with an MSW degree, I have been working as a psychotherapist. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. I am DBT informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have extensive experience with individual, family, couples, and group therapies. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have worked closely with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. I see a mix of Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clientele of all ages.

My hope is to help the client and families reach their goals and to provide them with a safe and non-judgmental place to do that. When working with a client, I will assist in allowing the client and families to process feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Please note, I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and can provide counseling services for the deaf community.

You never realized parenting could be so challenging and would require you to constantly try different things to meet your child’s needs. From sleepless nights to figuring out picky eating. There are also those personalities some big, strong willed, high energy and some hidden in their shyness. What about when they begin school and have to engage in peer relationships, Oh my! Let’s not forget about those challenging tween-teen years where they are just trying to figure out how they belong in this world. Now imagine being a child having to figure it all out!

“To fully relate to another, one must first relate to oneself. If we cannot embrace our own aloneness, we will simply use the other as a shield against isolation,” — Irvin D Yalom.

Perhaps you are seeking relief from identity struggles, anxiety, insecurity, relational issues, trauma, or self image difficulties. Reaching out for help can be intimidating, but the relief that follows is so worth it.

My orientation is a "YOU" centered one, where I may use any number of techniques including EMDR for trauma, Transactional Analysis for understanding your communication style, assertiveness training, and movement therapy to further the mind body connection.

Every day we face challenging opportunities and situations where we have to make difficult decisions. It may be hard to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves and others. You might be struggling with identifying the different emotions that you are experiencing. Emotions impact our decision-making process, ability to face challenges, maintain healthy relationships, and behaviors. Therapy can be the next step for you to have a supportive space to explore what you are currently experiencing.

Most people seek a therapist when they feel stuck in some way. My goal is to help you find the tools and resources to get answers. Hopefully, with answers, come solutions. This can help a person feel motivated and empowered to move forward in their life. I try to provide a space that allows for improved happiness, self esteem, and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Hello. My name is Cynthia Thomas, LMFT. I have spent my career helping children and adults who have experienced the pain of trauma including abuse, families who have had child welfare involvement, challenges related to adoption/fostering youth, and parenting through the trails that our kids experience. I have seen that pain manifest as depression, PTSD, anxiety, anger, and relationship challenges. Through this work, I have learned that resiliency is not something that we are all born with, but is something that can be learned and practiced.
