Cynthia Gillikin

My communication style

I am friendly, open, and casual in my interactions with patients. I enjoy getting to know people and helping them—not just with their symptoms, but also using problem-solving and emotional exploration of their life stressors to improve their lives.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to mental health and the brain. I love interacting with people one-on-one to help them feel better. I have had personal experiences with infertility, peripartum mental health, and postpartum issues, which have truly improved my treatment of those who struggle with those problems.

My goals for you

We will work together to evaluate treatment options and then choose one that fits your needs. We also will get comfortable with one another and establish a supportive relationship, which helps your recovery.

Our first session

We will spend up to an hour on the first meeting, where you can open up about your recent problems and experiences. I then collect details about your medical history, psychiatric history, and other background information so that I have a complete picture of your health. We will talk about treatment options and select an initial plan together.
