Cynthia Drake

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

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.

My focus

I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety and or depression related to transitional periods or events.

My communication style

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.

My journey to mental healthcare

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.

My goals for you

I help individuals explore and routinely review how their goals for therapy align with their values and benefit their journey.

My first session with you

Our first session will be informational. It will be an opportunity to ask questions, provide background information and explore what you believe would be helpful in our work together.
