I understand that life is full of challenges and when those challenges directly effect you as an individual or your family and especially your children it can feel overwhelming. In therapy we can address those feelings individually or as a family . Everyone is different in how they express and handle their feelings and so therapy is there to help you figure out what works for you, your family or your children.

Adolescence is a fascinating and complex time of rapid growth and change. During this transition, life can sometimes be overwhelming and present new challenges. As Maya Angelou once said, "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." For over 15 years I have been a counselor in the mental health field working with young children and adolescents with a variety of issues. I value a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate environment for my clients to feel safe and respected as they share their story through the counseling process.

You have the ability to create a new path for yourself, to live the life you really want to live. I would love to help you create that life. As a Christian counselor, I believe God created perfection and placed it all in the Garden of Eden. Unfortunately, sin entered the picture and people have been struggling with the effects of sin ever since. Sometimes that struggle is beyond our resources and understanding. We need to have someone help us through life's troubles.

I work with a variety of issues including substance abuse, trauma, victims of trafficking and crime, eating disorders, family dynamics, anger management, and suicidal ideation. I use evidence-based therapy approaches, including (CBT, MI, and DBT). Using these methods, I provide individual sessions, groups, and family therapy to further influence change in the lives of those I encounter. I’ve excelled at leading supportive services, groups with children and families, and individual counseling. I’ve served many at-risk populations including minors, adolescents, and adults who have experienced severe trauma.

I work with lots of clients that are struggling in their most important relationships, whether it's marriage or family . We sometimes feel stuck, or just plain exhausted in all our attempts to improve things alone. This is where a trusted helper can make a difference. I enjoy the process of helping couples and families understand the factors that are at play in their relationships and how to improve them.

Dr. Cynthia Lee Coronado: As a proven psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience, I have worked to build, enhance, and sustain the social and emotional well-being of children, adolescents, and adults by providing them the skills necessary to be successful in their life endeavors. I learned very quickly that my passion lies in wanting to help others achieve a better future for themselves through counseling and mentoring with an emphasis on individual, couples, and family therapy.

I chose the path of family therapist, most simply stated, because human beings do not live in a bubble. I believe that connectedness, feeling known and understood by others, has the potential to cultivate wellness despite one’s circumstances and/or history. My passion is grounded in partnering with clients in their journey to enhance their quality of life far beyond their expectations, which often begins with guided self-reflection. Through the utilization of a holistic lens, I work with clients to develop self-worth, to generate motivation to step outside of their "uncomfortable" comfort zones, and to assert healthy boundaries.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS !! I provide clients with real life tools and aid them in developing effective strategies to cope with life issues. I view therapy as a collaborative effort to understand problems and conflicts, identify realistic goals and take advantage of strengths and strategies that promote change. While the focus is often on current issues, understanding the influence of past experiences and relationships is an important part of the process. I motivate, encourage and support my clients to make choices that improve their lives, relationships and overall well being.

I work with clients (Couples, Individuals & Families) dealing with a variety of issues, from all different cultural, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I take into consideration your culture and unique situation while exploring possibilities to reaching your goals. Our therapeutic experience will be a conversation; not just me telling you what to do, because you know yourself better than anyone else.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe in addressing a client's immediate concern, their current functioning, and their identified goals. I use a variety of treatment modalities and select those that best serve the needs of my clients. I do not believe in meeting with clients indefinitely. My hope is to help clients reach their goals and get to the point where they no longer need therapy. I believe in teaching my clients the specific skills they need to address their problem or concern.
