ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPY

HOW  PSYCHOTHERAPY CAN BENEFIT YOU:

Psychotherapy provides a safe and confidential way for people to get
through difficult periods, resolve personal issues, and expand skills to:

  • reduce depression, anxiety, and stress
  • develop self-confidence
  • express thoughts and feelings effectively
  • heal from painful experiences
  • clarify priorities and attain goals
  • enhance quality of life
  • experience more joy

Simply put, therapy helps people develop a greater sense of ease,
peace, and satisfaction in their lives.


WHO  CAN BENEFIT FROM PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Anyone who wants to experience life with greater harmony and less
struggle can benefit from therapy.  Circumstances and challenges that
might spark a desire for guidance include:

  • relationships
  • family issues
  • grief, depression
  • fear, anxiety
  • trauma
  • addiction
  • transitions
  • health concerns, body image
  • work or school difficulties
  • questioning the purpose or meaning of one’s life

These situations can be overwhelming.  Whether an issue is current or
past, big or small, therapy is beneficial.  It can help turn these
challenges into opportunities for growth, inspiring people to achieve
and maximize their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-
being.


WHAT  TO EXPECT:
CINDY’S APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY

Cindy creates a compassionate and trusting environment, working
collaboratively with her clients to elicit strengths, build skills, and
support healing.  She empowers people with new tools to break old
cycles, helping them “get out of their own way.”

Initially, Cindy helps her clients clarify their needs and goals, and then
works together with them to find the optimal therapeutic approach.  
She uses talk therapy as the foundation of her practice, and
complements it with a range of well-researched psychological and
mind/body methods, including:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – to
    efficiently relieve  anxiety, trauma/PTSD (post traumatic stress
    disorder), and grief from recent and past events
  • Relaxation Skills – to relax, promote sleep, relieve stress
  • Guided Imagery and Meditationusing the power of the mind to gain
    clarity, increase awareness, and enhance peace
  • Movement Therapy – to energize, release tension, express feelings
  • Hypnotherapy – to change habits and gain better control of one’s life

This integrated approach leads to short term relief and long term
shifts.  Over time, clients learn to trust their innate wisdom, evolving,
thriving, and leading the lives they aspire to.
