Therapy with Cynthia Valentine: Compassionate Guidance for Growth

Therapy is a transformative process that can help you cultivate clarity, deepen your relationships, and live a life aligned with your values. Through compassionate and insightful support, I help clients navigate challenges and build the skills needed for a meaningful, authentic life.

Specialties

Anxiety and Panic: Overwhelmed by fear or dreading the next panic attack? Together, we’ll create space to breathe, using IFS to uncover the root of your anxiety and strategies to help you regain control.

ADHD in Adults: My expertise as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider ensures that you’ll find strategies tailored to your experience. Therapy focuses on emotional regulation and self-acceptance, empowering you to work with your brain rather than against it.

Grief and Loss: Grief can leave you feeling stuck or isolated. Whether you’re navigating prolonged grief, complicated grief, or a recent loss, I provide the support and tools you need to heal and rebuild your life.

Trauma Recovery: Complex relationship histories and trauma recovery take deliberate care and deliberate actions. We'll work together to heal those hurts and harms and build up the life you really want.

The Benefits of Therapy

Therapy is an opportunity to create the life you truly want. Through our work together, you may find:

More authentic interactions: Connect with others from a place of honesty and self-awareness.
Clearer vision for your future: Discover what matters most to you and take steps to align your actions with your goals.
Stable, meaningful relationships: Learn how to communicate effectively, express your needs, and build deeper connections.
Improved emotional regulation: Experience fewer outbursts and greater confidence in managing your emotions.
Life-affirming actions: Align your behaviors with your values, bringing more meaning and fulfillment to your daily life.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and the changes you’ll experience can have a lasting, positive impact on every area of your life.

My Approach to Therapy

I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a highly effective approach that helps clients understand and heal the complex emotions, beliefs, and relationships they hold within themselves. Through IFS, we’ll explore the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, stuck, or at odds with each other, fostering self-compassion and creating lasting emotional harmony.

Above all, my goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you feel empowered to grow and thrive.

Why choose an IFS Therapist?
Approachable and caring: Clients describe me as warm, understanding, and relatable.
A clear path forward: Sessions are designed to leave you with a clearer vision of how you want to engage with the world.
Acceptance without judgment: I meet you where you are, providing a safe and supportive space to explore and heal.
Focused on what works: IFS is at the heart of my approach, offering a proven way to heal and grow. As a Level 1 Trained IFS Therapist, I work carefully and skillfully with you and your nervous system.
