Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, My name is Cindy. Thank you for looking at my profile.
Before I tell you about my experience and education, I would like to tell you a little bit about my approaches to counseling. First and foremost, please know that your healing and your journey is important to me. Therefore, along the way I will ask you if my approaches are working for you and if you are comfortable with them. I will also welcome your feedback at any time as well. That being said, I am trained in both traditional and non-traditional counseling techniques. I like to use both. I am formally trained in Client Centered ( Carl Rogers ) techniques. These techniques are designed to help you feel heard and have your feelings validated. Please know that you deserve this. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on ways in which your thinking may be causing you stress/distress.
I love a holistic approach to therapy, therefore, I received extra training in the Expressive Arts. This may sound scary to those of you who are not artists, but being an artist has nothing to do with expressive art. Expressive art is a means of expressing yourself and discovering your true inner feelings, inner voice and inner power. Instead of just talking about your issues/concerns, I would encourage you to draw them, paint them, dance them out, write them out,. etc. Whatever feels comfortable for you. The whole point of these modalities, is to move blocked energy (issues) out of your body which holds memory. Memories are not just stored in your brain. The body remembers and the body reacts. Especially to trauma. But you don’t have to have been traumatized to benefit from these techniques. Expressive Art can help you with self esteem issues, depression, anxiety, motivation, life decisions, career choices, eating disorders and sleeping problems. No one ever has to see your artwork or see you move in an expressive and meaningful way.
I also love and have experience with Inner Child Work. It is very effective and not at all scary.
Ideally, I like to combine both traditional therapies with some form of the Expressive Arts. They reinforce each other. But, ultimately, it is up to you and what works best for you. I also like to teach various powerful visualizations.
I received my Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts in January of 2001. I became licensed in 2007. I received a Certificate in The Facilitation of Expressive Arts from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island in 2007. I have over 22 years of experience working with both men and women and with families and children of all ages.
I look forward to working with you.
Thank you and Namaste, (the spirit in me honors the spirit in you)

Cynthia Robinson centers her work on the belief that each person’s healing journey matters. She emphasizes collaboration and routinely checks in with clients to make sure her approach feels helpful and comfortable, welcoming feedback throughout the process.
She is trained in both traditional and non-traditional counseling methods. Her foundation in client-centered therapy, influenced by Carl Rogers, focuses on helping clients feel heard and having their feelings validated. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thinking patterns can contribute to stress and distress.
As a proponent of a holistic approach, Cynthia has additional training in the expressive arts. She explains that expressive art is not about artistic skill but about using drawing, painting, movement, writing, or other creative activities to express inner feelings, voice, and personal strengths. These modalities are used to help move blocked energy and access memories that the body holds – an approach she notes can be useful for a variety of concerns, including self-esteem, depression, anxiety, motivation, life decisions, career choices, eating disorders, and sleep difficulties. Participation in creative exercises is always optional and private; no one else needs to see the work unless the client chooses to share.
She also practices inner child work and often combines traditional therapies with expressive arts and guided visualizations so the approaches reinforce one another. Ultimately, the mix of techniques is tailored to what is most effective and comfortable for each person.
