Getting to know Cynthia Gierko
Hi! I'm Cindy, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Cambridge College. After 17 years in community mental health agencies, I recently opened my practice, Paths to Healing and Wellness, PLLC. I provide telehealth throughout Florida with daytime, evening, and weekend appointments. If you don?t see a convenient time on my Grow calendar, please contact me, and I will try to accommodate you.
Life is hard right now, and you know it can be better. You might feel stuck and overwhelmed, unable to move forward. Stress, trauma, grief, chronic pain, or other challenges may be weighing you down.
We all need someone compassionate and non-judgmental to talk with at times. Starting therapy is a healthy first step toward moving forward and letting go of what holds you back.
I provide a safe, welcoming space where you?ll gain tools and strength to face life?s challenges. Instead of staying stuck, challenges become opportunities for growth and self-awareness. Therapy helps you manage tough emotions and leads to better functioning and well-being despite life?s obstacles.
I see therapy as a journey, unique for each person. I draw from evidence-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and others. Despite the fancy names, my style is warm, down-to-earth, and, according to some, even "fun." Most importantly, I strive to use an approach that works best for you. Together, we can work toward changes to create a life you love?because you deserve nothing less.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first session is an assessment. During this time, I will ask questions about what brought you to therapy, your mental health symptoms and how they impact your functioning, and what you would like to gain from therapy.

Cynthia Gierko, LMHC has 200+ in-network plans.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
