Hello, I am Cynthia Harris-Maddox, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about supporting clients with challenging issues in the following areas: stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, & coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
My approach
My approach is to utilize the following theoretical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy while assisting clients in their overall journey to emotional wellness.
My focus
I studied at Bethune Cookman College for my undergraduate degree in psychology and obtained my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I love doing counseling and seeing clients achieve their goal of becoming emotionally healthy.
My communication style
My greatest skill is being an active listener and supporter. Clients usually walk away saying that they have been encouraged, informed, and given the effective strategies and tools to take charge of their mental health needs. I have a way with teens who describe me as an easy person to get along with and who cares about them.
My journey to mental healthcare
It has always been my passion to become an agent of change and to serve my community. This mindset is what inspired me to choose a career as a therapist, along with the love I possess in wanting to help people achieve emotional wholeness.
My goals for you
I like to include my clients in setting attainable goals that are so easy that they themselves can help to monitor and meet outside of the counseling session. My eclectic approach is to help the client feel empowered and motivated in wanting to achieve their goal in return, reward themselves for a job well done.
My first session with you
Clients will expect to leave a session with having learned coping strategies/skills to put in their toolbox to be practiced in their everyday living.
