My name is Cynthia Drake, and I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor. I focus on tending to the difficult-to-understand parts of ourselves. I believe change comes from self-awareness and self-compassion. My approach is integrative with a psychodynamic foundation, but I also pull from humanistic, emotion-focused, and cognitive behavioral orientations depending on what would be most beneficial. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety and or depression related to transitional periods or events.
I consider the therapeutic experience to be a partnership in which the client brings their expertise about their world, and I offer cohesive perspectives that can help to illicit awareness and understanding. I help individuals explore and routinely review how their goals for therapy align with their values and benefit their journey.
Being a therapist has always been more than a job to me. Therapy is an expression of a core part of me that enjoys getting to know people at a real level. As a Therapist, I empower people to explore and pursue new ways to live professionally and personally.
