“Finding Cindy through Zocdoc was one of the best things that could’ve happened to me. From our very first session, I felt completely at ease and truly in good hands. Cindy is kind, genuine, and incredibly understanding. She listens without judgment and offers thoughtful insights that have really helped me work through my anxiety. Our sessions feel like I’m talking to a friend who genuinely wants the best for me. I’m excited to continue working with her in the months ahead as I grow in my mental health journey. I’d recommend Cindy in a heartbeat to any friend, loved one, or anyone I care about because I trust her that much. Thank you, Cindy!”

What should a new client know about working with you?

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Here's a glimpse into what a therapy session might be like for you, from someone who's been there: The Setup: Therapy sessions usually last around 45-50 minutes. You'll meet with your therapist in-person or virtually, which can feel awkward at first, but will start to feel safe and familiar over time. ADHD: Focus: Your therapist might ask you about your challenges with focus and organization. They might introduce strategies to manage them, like breaking down tasks or using timers. Restlessness: It's okay if you fidget or if sitting still is tough. A good therapist will understand ADHD and create a comfortable space for you to be yourself. Anxiety: Venting Space: You might spend some time talking about what's causing you anxiety. Your therapist will listen without judgment and help you identify your anxious thoughts. Calming Techniques: You might learn relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness exercises. Depression: Low Mood: It's okay to feel down. Your therapist will ask about your mood and what makes it worse or better. They'll help you develop coping mechanisms. Motivation: Feeling unmotivated is common with depression. Your therapist can help you set small, achievable goals and celebrate your progress. General Tips: Be Open: Therapy works best when you're honest with your therapist. It might feel scary at first, but they're there to support you, not judge you. Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear, or if you want to know more about a specific technique. It Takes Time: Don't expect instant results. Therapy is a journey, and you might have good and bad days. But with consistent effort, you'll start to feel better. Remember: You're not alone. There are many people living with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Therapy can be a powerful tool to manage these conditions and improve your overall well-being.
