Besides relationship issues, I also particularly work with various women's issues, including childhood sexual abuse and adult rape.
Relationships can be some of the most difficult things we face. When we don't have understanding of our own hearts it makes it difficult to communicate what we need, and when we don't understand, we can sometimes demand of others to read our minds and understand us. When this inevitably fails, we then blame the other for not meeting our needs. If you find yourself hurting over failed relationships, or are currently trying to make a painful relationship work, perhaps I can help you. Please visit my website for more information.

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.” Madeleine L'Engle Seeking therapy is to open yourself up…to become vulnerable to be able to talk about struggles with your partner, your kids, your life. Vulnerability is the beginning of change. We are ready for change when the pain of staying the same is more costly than the status quo. If you are tired of holding on to ways of doing things that don't work for you anymore, I want to help.

I have a lot of experience with women’s issues.
I offer weekend and evening sessions! Reaching out for help is difficult and oftentimes feels vulnerable. Being brave enough to reach out for counseling is a strength in itself! There is an ever present stigmatization of mental health when the truth is that everyone is often struggling. I strive to see the world through my clients’ eyes to fully empathize with where they’re coming from in order to best empower and guide them to healing. Depression and anxiety can look and feel different to everyone and lots of us have gotten really good at masking like everything is alright. This is a safe space for everything to not be okay.

I work with adult (age 18+) women who reside in Missouri, Texas, or Virginia.
You have made the brave decision to seek support and you are worth it. Meeting with a therapist can be intimidating; it requires strength and vulnerability. We are imperfectly human and we deserve to work towards honest self-acceptance, empowerment, and esteem in a safe place. Anxiety, codependence, depression, grief, isolation, and feelings of powerlessness can leave us exhausted and at a loss for answers. It can be easy to forget that we deserve "to be loved, and to feel worthwhile" (W. Glasser). I invite you to remember that when experiencing stress. It would be an honor to be witness to the growth of your self love.

Hi there, I’m Cyndi and I’ve been a social worker for 10 years. I truly believe in the treatments of DBT, RODBT and EMDR, as I have seen how folks have learned to cope with their emotions more effectively. I have also seen folks who felt stuck and paralyzed by traumatic events begin to live their lives and feel liberated as they became less impacted by previously triggering events. I facilitate DBT and RODBT groups, as well as provide individual DBT/RODBT therapy sessions. The EMDR sessions I provide are solely individual.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
