Cynthia Duxbury

Cynthia Duxbury, LMFT, understands that anxiety, phobias, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can hinder the growth and joy of a child or teenager. These challenges can create barriers, leaving frustration and hurt in place of a nurturing relationship. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), and parent coaching, she empowers children and teens to cultivate a resilient and inquisitive mindset—a crucial skill that will benefit them long after therapy ends. As a dedicated family therapist, Cynthia recognizes that the health of an individual often reflects the dynamics of their family. Parents and caregivers play an essential role in the therapeutic process, and their involvement is welcomed and encouraged. In fact, the family unit is often the most valuable resource in therapy. Cynthia believes that working together with parents, siblings, and the broader family fosters growth and support. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences, including a memorable family trip to the Golden Gate Bridge, she brings a unique perspective to her work. With a strong commitment to assisting children facing anxiety, OCD, and phobias, Cynthia is here to guide these extraordinary kids in reclaiming their courage and taming irrational fears.
