Cynthia High-Gutierrez

You may look like you're holding everything together. But inside, you're exhausted.

Your mind won't slow down. You're replaying conversations, worrying about your child, trying to keep up with work and family, or wondering why things that used to feel manageable suddenly feel so difficult.

Maybe your child or teenager is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, school, friendships, or changes at home—and you're not sure what else to try.

Or maybe you're the one everyone depends on, and you've become so focused on taking care of everyone else that you've stopped feeling like yourself.

You don't have to wait until things get worse to get support.

I'm Cynthia High-Gutierrez, LCSW, a bilingual English/Spanish therapist with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodiversity, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, women's issues, and major life transitions.

My background in public schools, school-based mental health, hospitals, and outpatient therapy gives me a unique perspective—especially when emotional health, family life, relationships, work, and school begin affecting one another.

I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest—even about the things you haven't been able to say anywhere else.

You won't find judgment or a one-size-fits-all approach here. We'll work together to understand what's happening, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies you can actually use outside of our sessions.

My style is warm, empowering, and solution-oriented. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, trauma-focused interventions, and other methods based on your individual needs.

And because I provide therapy in both English and Spanish, I understand how culture, identity, family expectations, and language can shape the way we experience—and talk about—mental health.

You don't need to arrive at therapy knowing exactly what's wrong or what you need.

That's something we can figure out together.

We'll work toward helping you feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions, communicate more effectively, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more confident handling life's challenges.

For parents, that may mean finally understanding what's behind your child's behavior and learning new ways to support them.

For adults, it may mean breaking the cycle of anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own.

For couples and families, it may mean learning how to communicate and reconnect instead of repeating the same painful patterns.

The hardest part is often deciding that things don't have to stay the way they are.

You don't need to wait for a crisis. You don't need to have everything figured out. And you don't need to carry everything by yourself.

If you've been thinking about therapy but telling yourself you'll start "when things calm down," this may be the right time to take that first step.

Let's start with one conversation and go from there.
