Cynthia Elledge, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

I specialize in understanding the entire person, since depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health issues can affect your sense of self and beliefs about the world.

My focus

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, chronic stress, and physical symptoms connected to mental health.

My approach

A mutual development of goals for therapy and emphasizing an integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to support recovery. A blend of solution-focused, narrative therapy, Cognitive processing therapy, reprocessing therapy, somatic experiencing therapy, and psychoeducation to empower patients.

My communication style

My core focus is approaching most issues we as humans struggle with internally using a trauma-informed approach and the mind-body connection. For many, the Fight-or-Flight response (triggered by high-stress situations) isn’t just a mental experience—it’s physical. This response often translates into tension and chronic aches.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life has led me here. Humans matter, and all humans need humans to heal. Many human beings are not lucky enough to have healthy relationships that can support them in tough times, and many don't understand mental health and believe they are broken. We are not broken, it is not just willpower.

My goals for you

Collaboration and forthcoming communication developed by trust and consistency.
