Cynthia Malek

For nearly 30 years, I have guided individuals and families toward improving their life scripts. My clients say that talking to me is like sharing with a trusted friend. I draw upon my professional and personal experience, formal training, and life-long learning to help you reach your goals. I am most compatible with people who are friendly toward broadly Judeo-Christian values. No therapist is the right one for all people, but I have been the right therapist for thousands of people.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic models such as person-centered, CBT, psychoanalytic, EMDR, existential, experiential, solution-focused, trauma-informed, IFS, and psychoeducational. I tailor my approach based upon your needs for personal growth, and can be more or less directive, depending upon what works best for you. I am forthcoming and transparent, warm and humorous; I value healthy interpersonal boundaries and strong professional ethics.

After our first session, my clients often say they feel like I "got" them---that I listen well, and they feel understood. My clients often tell me they feel intrigued by the prospect of getting to know themselves better and are hopeful about the possibility of developing new skills and habits that will lead to improved relationships, the unburdening of accumulated emotional baggage, and greater life satisfaction.
