Cynthia Nava

My clients describe me as:

direct in an empathetic and conscientious manner. I am attentive, fully engaged, and to the point. I am also quite humorous as the occasion allows.

Something to know about my approach is:

Narrative Therapy and Collaborative Language System, both of which theorize that the way we story our lives and the language we use can lead to dysfunction or stagnation, leaving us feeling lost and confused about how to move towards happiness.

Together, we will:

explore the narratives used to describe yourself and your life, how they hold you back from reaching your full potential, and work towards re-narrating the story to achieve a better understanding and acceptance of who you are and of your life goals.

I specialize in working with people who:

have a history of trauma/abuse and feeling lost and alone in their ability to manage symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and trust issues. I also specialize in religious trauma, grief/loss, anxiety about life transitions, and low self-esteem.

I became a therapist because:

I know what it's like to feel alone and confused with no one to help guide me. I want to be the person I wish I had had during tough times in my life.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

It is just north of The Heights and offers ample parking. I also offer Telehealth so that you can meet at a time and place that best meets your needs.

More about me and my practice:

Life is a journey that needs to be honored every step of the way. Acceptance is key to moving forward, and gratitude is key to finding happiness. Let's journey together to find your acceptance, gratitude, and happiness!
