A Message from Cydney

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and thoughts? Are you struggling in your relationships and find it difficult to communicate effectively with others? It is crucial to acknowledge the depth of your pain, the challenges you are facing, and the frustration you might be experiencing. Your feelings are valid, and I'm here to support you as you navigate through these emotions and work towards finding a way to cope and heal.

As a trained and licensed independent clinical social worker, we can work together to help you find meaning and value in your life. My primary goal in working with my clients is to empower you to work towards overcoming obstacles, managing stress, and cultivating meaningful and healthy relationships with others. I am committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

Through compassionate listening and tailored strategies, we will work collaboratively to uncover insights and develop skills that can help promote positive change. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, chronic pain, caregiver stress, aging concerns, relationship issues, or personal growth; I am here to accompany you on your path to self-improvement and emotional well-being.

I utilize an integrated theoretical approach in my therapy work, meaning that I offer clinical interventions that are the best fit for your current needs rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I work with the principle that we are both equals in the therapeutic process, and I will strongly encourage open dialogue and shared decision-making.

I believe that trust and safety, a non-judgmental attitude, collaboration, effective communication, boundaries, and a strong therapeutic relationship are the most important parts of our work together. By engaging in psychotherapy care with me, you can expect to see positive change and growth within yourself. I enjoy working with all ages of adults and I have been trained in providing specialized psychotherapy care for older adults.
