For over thirty years, I have been helping people navigate these challenges and find more effective ways of coping with life's unexpected twists and turns. Therapy begins with my listening carefully and respectfully to your story. Understanding your history is crucial to our working together to find more effective solutions to your current challenges.
My training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family systems theory helps me understand the ways you have made sense of yourself and your world, and how those familiar beliefs about yourself may be keeping you from living life as fully and joyfully as you can. I have training in a variety of therapeutic approaches and will use the methods and skills most appropriate for the problems you are currently experiencing.

At our initial session we will decide whether or not to begin our work together. If it appears that you may be better served by another therapist, I will help you by providing referrals. I use cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. Transitions like job loss, aging, menopause, relocating and career changes can be disorienting.

Report
I have known Cynthia Ezell for over 25 years, and have referred many patients to her during this time. She is highly skilled as both an individual and couples therapist. She is an extremely kind, thoughtful, and well informed psychotherapist. She actually trains and supervises other psychotherapists. We are fortunate to have her expertise in our community.
