I am here to support you and create a safe, accepting space dedicated to your individual needs, whether you are seeking to process past or current experiences, learn coping techniques, challenge negative patterns, establish healthy boundaries, or improve your relationships.


It is natural and normal to sometimes feel confused, scared, angry, exhausted, lonely, empty, disconnected or overwhelmed by our ever changing life circumstances. The focus of our therapeutic collaboration will be to develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My person-centered philosophy focuses not only on life's struggles but building upon your strengths. I seek to develop a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, energetic, and meaningful.


My expertise includes, but is not limited to anxiety, depression, anger, body image, ADHD, complex trauma, intimacy, sexuality, grief, relationship, attachment, identity and life changes. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally competent, trauma sensitive, body positive, and sex positive. My commitment is to help you to achieve balance, clarity and liberation.


I provide telehealth both in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Cindy Lambkin

Cindy Lambkin

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Cindy and I want you to know this: you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying it all, therapy can be a space to exhale, reflect, and gently begin again.

I come to this work not only as a clinician but as a human being shaped by my own lived experience. I’m a proud Trinidadian-American who migrated to the U.S. at a young age, and I know what it’s like to navigate different worlds, expectations, and identities. That background helps me show up with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for the unique path each client walks.

I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University, and my clinical experience has focused on supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and issues related to identity and belonging. I have a special heart for clients who are used to being the strong ones, the caregivers, the first-gen trailblazers, the ones who hold space for everyone else.

In our work together, you can expect warmth, honesty, and collaboration. I use a relational and strengths-based approach, integrating tools from CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but more importantly, I meet you where you are, honoring your pace and your story.

This is your space to feel seen, to feel safe, and to explore what healing could look like for you. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Searching for therapists in Syracuse starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look at their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their approach, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another method.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, local in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, office location, and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still keeping care connected to your preferences. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers evening sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may look like and decide who fits your needs, schedule, and communication style.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
