More about me

Licensing: M.S., LMFT, Hypnotist Years in Practice: 27 State: California

I have been a licensed marriage family therapist in California for over 27 years. I am what some people would call a "wounded healer", because I have been sober 35 years. I am also in recovery from co-dependency and love addiction. I believe anyone can change their life for the better, because I have changed mine for the better. If you love someone who does not love you back, I can help you STOP loving them and help you to start loving yourself. If you cannot say no, I can teach you how to say NO in a kind way and mean it.

In addition to the areas mentioned above, I can also help you to over come anxiety/panic and depression. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you to make the changes you want to make in your life. You are always in control of your therapy and you decide

I have been in the client's chair, so I know first hand that it takes courage to begin the journey to a better life. You do not have to journey alone ; I will be your companion. All journeys begin with the first step. Take that first step today.

I would be honored to work with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Cynthia is and has been great help to keep me on my journey of healing.

Best therapist! She really understands me and helps with my anxiety

I have been working with Cynthia for about a month. She is an amazing listener. She gives me concepts and ideas to stimulate my thinking between our sessions in the online chat which I really appreciate. I also like the homework she gives me. I find talking through the difficult issues in my life with Cynthia is natural and uplifting. I always leave our sessions feeling better than when I called in.

Highly recommend this therapist, Cynthia , anyone who works with her her can get a lot and achieve their therapy goals

This is my first time speaking to therapist but she has exceeded all of my expectations. She makes me feel seen and heard! She also validates my feeling and helps me internalize my thoughts!

Cynthia is the best therapist I have spoken to. She follows up with me and gives me the resources I need. I feel understood and I’m confident in working on myself with her expertise!

My biggest regret is not finding her sooner! A genuine person who wants to help!

Nothing but good sessions with Cynthia. She helped me move forward and guided me during the most complicated phases in my healing journey. I couldn't be happier to have met her.

i have only met w Cynthia twice (video chat) but i am very happy w her so far. she is very kind, knowledgeable and caring. she's 100% involved in helping me w my myriad issues!

Cynthia is always available to talk either in writing or via zoom. She is a good listener and helps you to look at your situation with an open mind. Her insights are always insightful and on target. She has helped me deal with some difficult family relationships and I have definitely grown as a result of her help.

Cynthia is a kind soul who truly does care and wants to be goal oriented with her clients. She's direct when necessary and empathetic and compassionate towards clients' struggles. She's been a rock of guidance in a desert of unpredictability in life.

Wonderful Therapist. Would recommend highly

Cynthia is great

Cynthia was very responsive and thoughtful.

I am beyond thankful for finding Cynthia! She has allowed me to fully express myself freely without judgement and that was my biggest fear when starting therapy. She listens and really takes everything in that you are saying and makes you feel seen and heard. Thank you, Cynthia! I am beyond grateful for you.

Cynthia listens and gives me helpful suggestions to help with my anxiety!

Cynthia is a wonderful therapist. An empathetic, active listener who offers useful insight. It is easy to talk to her since she approaches each session with a supportive, non-judgmental attitude. You can tell she cares about her work and clients. She is proactive in checking-in and helpful in referring you to relevant resources. I highly recommend Cynthia!

It was pleasure working with Cynthia. I highly recommend her. She helped to guide me in the right direction and understood my issue very well.

I would recommend Cynthia Cunningham to lots of people. I think she has a unique niche for working with me as a first responder. Not sure how she developed this skill, cause I don't know her to have experience as a first responder. She is able to help me work on myself in a way I can not explain. Most therapists look tu react or make comments about my life experience that suggest my life is kind of crazy. But Cynthia Cunningham is able to hear me and understand my line of work dose make me more prone to trauma & instead of suggesting I leave the work place like several other therapists have she provides me a tool box of methods to work through the inevitable.

Cynthia is amazing!

Cynthia has been the loveliest experience of a first therapist. It is exactly what I needed at this time in my life, and in just a couple months I'm already feeling changes in my mindset and in my life. I feel very seen and validated and feel like when I'm talking with Cynthia I can be completely honest about myself which is a beautiful thing. She has helped me acknowledge and move through pain I was too intimidated to face on my own. Yay!! Would definitely recommend to my close family members and to anyone.

Cynthia is a wonderful person. As someone who is new to therapy she didn't make me feel like I was being picked and prodded as I thought it would be like. She helps me understand my emotions and what they mean and helps me think logically and critically for my own benefit. She helps me feel like a human being again.

Cynthia is fantastic, she's a wonderful listener and provides great advice as well as helpful insights. I was very nervous to embark on this journey but couldn't be happier with matching with Cynthia and how I feel after just a couple short weeks. Thank you, Cynthia.

Cynthia is not only a highly knowledgeable, skilled and competent therapist but also her authenticity, enthusiasm and compassion shine through. Her approach is dynamic yet also grounded in solid theory and she tailors her approach to individual needs. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

So far so good!!

Cynthia is awesome!

I’ve only had two meetings with her, so far so good.

Cynthia is so open and understanding. She is patient in getting to know you and what you're focused on healing, she gives advice and even recommends videos and articles that will help better you. This is my first time in therapy and after my experience with Cynthia as my therapist I definitely won't be going back to before I ever started therapy. I would definitely suggest Cynthia as your therapist! :)

I am very grateful for every conversation I have with Cynthia. Cynthia is understanding, patient, empathetic, and I never feel judged. She follows up with helpful resources and advice, and she has a great memory when we’ve discussed some ongoing issues. I am very grateful for her advice and guidance. Thank you Cynthia!

❤️❤️❤️

Cynthia is wonderful, respectful and empathetic.

Very insightful takeaways and helpful assignments.

Cynthia is an amazing therapist and person! I’ve been working with her for a few months and progressed a lot. She is a great listener and gives space for me to share my thoughts without any feeling of judgement. sometimes she’ll send articles with helpful advice/ tips and I appreciate her thought provoking questions. Ive realized aspects about myself that I’ve never thought to reflect on before.

Cynthia have been so wonderful and so very communicative. She checks in and I feel that there’s a true continuity of our therapy throughout the week because of the messaging system. I feel so lucky to have found her.

Cynthia makes me feel respected and heard. I feel like I am in a totally safe space to share and learn with her. And I would recommend her to anyone looking for counseling

my sessions with Cynthia have been extremely productive, insightful and helpful.

Cynthia has been great. I communicate with her the way I feel most comfortable and she doesn’t push me to do it another way. And she gets back to me so quickly! She is also clearly listening and knows what she is talking about. I’ve only been talking to her a couple weeks, but she has already pointed things out that I never realized before.

Cynthia is a great listener who is compassionate and knows exactly how to handle your concerns. she breaks down and gives multiple perspectives to deal with the situation. Thank you for your help.

She is great, and supports me in so many ways!

I've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time and finally made a move when in a crucial and difficult life transition. Cynthia is my first therapist and I am surprised how great the experience has been and it’s not even 2 months yet. I was even able to get insights from her in our first session. She is a great listener, responds quickly, and always checks in with you. I definitely recommend her.

I am amazed at BetterHelp's capability to select a therapist that seems perfect for me. Cynthia seems to know what I am going through and have the perfect questions to help me get to the root of the issues. Prior to therapy with Cynthia, I had a hard time really opening up 100%. So the kind of questions Cynthia gave me helped tremendously because it allowed for me to be transparent with myself. I noticed significant improvement in my moods and behavior within a week of therapy with Cynthia. I'm very busy so I love that I can message Cynthia any time during the day and get a same-day response. I wholeheartedly recommend Cynthia.

Cynthia is very receptive and supportive. I love how she is not judgmental and very neutral so we can focus on the core issues.

Cynthia is warm and kind. But perhaps more importantly, In just a couple of sessions, she has shown me how uncommonly incisive and insightful she is. This is not my first foray into talk therapy. I have had great and not-so-great therapists. She definitely lives among the former.
