I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-awareness.

Cynthia Robbins

Cynthia Robbins

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello and welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and I want to acknowledge the courage it can take to reach out. My name is Cynthia, though I go by Cyndra, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who primarily works with individuals.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own unexpected life transition. In 2010, I experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that dramatically changed the course of my life. During my recovery, I gained a deeper understanding of how challenging major life transitions can be and how important it is to have support while navigating uncertainty, loss, and change. I also became fascinated by how the brain works, how our experiences shape us, and our capacity to heal and adapt. That journey ultimately led me into the mental health field in 2012.

Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.

Therapist

I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with a real person. I’m warm and compassionate, but I’m also honest and direct—I won’t judge you, but I won’t simply tell you what you want to hear, either. I’ll laugh with you, ask the questions that may be uncomfortable, and challenge you when I believe it could help. I care about my clients and genuinely love this work. You can expect me to be present, engaged, ethical, and respectful of your boundaries while creating a space where you can be fully yourself.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis. I am humbled with the invitation to join your journey, and help you learn how to help yourself. We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective. I appreciate the bravery and courage that it takes for each of my clients to let me into their lives and become vulnerable with me.

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!

Therapist

Virtual • California


You might have experienced childhood trauma, a distressing single event and/or are overwhelmed by society's impossible demands placed on mothers or with being a neurodivergent brain in our neurotypical-dominant society. You might look like you have it all together (or not!); but either way, are overwhelmed and discouraged. You might be confused, dissociating, or have no idea how you feel.

Come as you are. However you are. You are so welcomed here.

You can experience wellness within even in the midst of your past (or present) circumstances.

Hi! I'm Rikki. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with dual master's degrees and over eight years of experience working in community mental health, private practice, and forensic settings. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, anger management, sexual concerns, identity exploration, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person I work with. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, challenged when it's helpful, and supported as we work together to better understand what's getting in the way and build practical strategies that fit your life.
