More about Cynthia
- 20 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R), Therapist, Life Coach, and Positive Psychology Practitioner that believes in helping people tap into the unlimited possibilities of life to help them realize their personal and professional goals.
That commitment has guided my career for over twenty years, where I’ve helped hundreds of people transform their personal and professional lives by supporting them in addressing their challenges, building their coping skills, and perhaps most important, recognizing their own inner strengths and resiliency.
In my deepest calling to see people create the lives they were truly meant to live and have optimum well-being and happiness, I founded Restoring Every Aspect of Living (R.E.A.L, Inc.) where I offer therapy, coaching services, workshops, and self-development programs. I am clear that helping people live in their authenticity and create better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities is work that is critically important to humanity and the planet.
I utilize a variety of modalities in my work, and I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that includes clinical and spiritual methodologies. As a skilled therapist, positive psychology practitioner, and life coach, I believe that the way to help you get what you want cannot be engaged solely through your mind because your way of thinking is generally what is keeping you stuck.
Therefore, some of the first work we may engage in will center around self-care and tending to your spirit. Many typical therapists do not examine this part of your life. Yet, it is, in my opinion, one of the most important components in helping you make the changes you desire and critical in helping you reach your aspirations and goals.
In my professional career, I have also supported and trained hundreds of professionals to effectively deal with the intensity of their work and find ways to cultivate positive and happier work environments and flourish at work. I have conducted a wide range of professional development workshops that include leadership trainings and cultural responsiveness trainings.
In the course of spreading my message of optimal wellness for the mind, body, and spirit, I have been featured in numerous media outlets including NBC Latino, NBC Visiones, Latina Magazine, Women’s Day, Cosmopolitan for Latinas, LatinTrends Magazine, Vista Magazine, and VOXXI.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
