Cynthia Obershaw, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that you can heal yourself with guidance and understanding. I am passionate about providing gentle guidance, support, and understanding in the therapeutic journey.

My focus

I work with trauma, adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, phase of life issues, addiction, existential and spiritual issues.

My approach

I am client-centered and humanistic in my therapeutic approach. I believe in meeting you from where you are today and with a collaborative approach, going from there.

My communication style

I create a calm, meditative, and tranquil environment. I am an excellent listener. It feels like a nice break from life's hassles to work with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I feel I have always been a therapist, even when I was a performer. I believe healing is our primary reason for living. This is what drives me to do this important work.

My goals for you

Throughout the therapeutic process, we work collaboratively on mutually agreed-upon goals.
