Cynthia McSwain

I love to live out the themes of nurturing, creativity, and growth. I reside with my kiddo, 2 dogs, and 4 cats. Together we all have our quirks, silliness, and needs. Art, stand up comedy, and community bring balance to my life. I am passionate about not being stuck due to injustices, trauma, and/or adulting. To me, therapy is a place of safety, discussions, collaboration, questioning, and empowerment. It brings forth awareness, growth, and ability to simply be. Life is a constant dialectic to me- joy and challenges- moment by moment along with some sparkles.

Together, we’ll explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful narratives, and build practical skills to navigate life’s complexities. I integrate coping strategies, DBT skills, and creative outlets like art and writing because healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about learning, growing, and reclaiming your sense of self. I know that life is a mix of joy and challenges, and therapy should reflect that balance. Sometimes, we’ll dig deep, and other times, we’ll find moments of laughter and lightness. My goal is to help you move forward with awareness, empowerment, and a few more tools in your toolkit.

Our sessions provide coping skills, time to process and question, and take steps in your chosen goals.
