Cynthia Melendez is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist who understands that many people face daily stressors affecting their day-to-day functioning. These stressors, which can arise from work, school, or family and relationship issues, can be overwhelming. By collaborating in psychotherapy, her clients are empowered to develop tools for coping and progressing towards their personal goals. With eight years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and entire family systems, Cynthia is adept in addressing trauma, including domestic violence, human trafficking, childhood trauma, and grief. Employing a strength-based approach, she provides a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can safely explore and navigate their past and present experiences that contribute to everyday stress. Her therapeutic practices are informed by frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all method, Cynthia is committed to meeting each client where they are to facilitate their journey towards achieving their individual goals.
