Therapy is a Journey

I began practicing therapy in March 2014, while in my last year of graduate school at National University. I finished school in December of 2014 and walked with my cohort in May 2015. With a variety of job settings and clientele, I’ve learned my strengths lie in helping people bottom line their struggles. I help people see their problems clearly. Together we develop a plan of action, and sometimes reflection, to uncover those areas that are keeping them unhappy.

About Cynthia Valentine, LMFT

Cynthia is skilled in using and applying Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy principles. She has taken important continuing education programs available (IFS Circle, IFS Continuity) and has received monthly professional consultation over the past year. Cynthia applies ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which incorporates a number of approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and mindfulness. ACT is an approach to life that builds psychological flexibility. Further, it is an approach that helps people practice awareness of the present moment, open up to those thoughts and feelings you’ve been avoiding without relief, find what is important to you, and take committed action toward the meaningful life you really want.

How I Can Help You Get Unstuck

Your courage and resilience in getting yourself into a therapy office (virtual or in-person) will always serve you. The emotional overwhelm makes you tired, faster though. Courage sometimes feels like too much energy and impossible to access. I am here to help you reduce those strong emotions and big mood shifts to manageable and understandable levels. I know you want something different for your life and I can’t wait to help you get there.
