Getting to know Cynthia Tanaka

Hello, I’m Cynthia. If your emotions feel overwhelming, your focus is scattered, or racing thoughts keep you awake, you are not alone. Experiencing anxiety, helplessness, or low self-esteem can be exhausting. With nearly two decades of experience specializing in trauma recovery, I know how deeply painful experiences can fracture trust—even making therapy feel intimidating. My primary goal is to build a safe, patient, and reliable space where we can work together at your pace. Shaped by my diverse lived experiences, my professional journey includes impactful international work and understanding of how the chronic wear and tear of navigating cultural barriers and systemic challenges physically shapes neurodevelopment. Throughout my career across private practice, government agencies, and non-profits, I have witnessed how historical and cultural stressors impact the brain, prompting me to present trauma-informed training to organizations like the Colorado State Drug Court. Clients describe me as direct, yet exceptionally patient and supportive. Together, we will honor your lived experience and unique strengths, using evidence-based methods to design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your healing.By integrating developmental and neuropsychological insights, I excel at turning complex science into practical, everyday coping strategies that help clients manage and heal from trauma, PTSD, ADHD, learning disorders, TBIs, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
