Cynthia Fulton-Solomon

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon brings 30 years of social work experience to her clinical work, combining long-term practice with a focus on children, youth and families. She earned her master’s degree from Southern University of New Orleans with a concentration in that area and has worked with clients across the lifespan on a wide range of concerns.

She served as a Licensed Master Social Worker for 25 years and has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 2 years. Cynthia is a Louisiana-licensed clinical social worker (LA LCSW 5190), a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and authorization to provide therapeutic services.

Currently she works in the Juvenile Justice System with youth who have been adjudicated, offering both individual and group counseling that centers on goals to help young people meet probation and parole requirements within the community. Her clinical experience includes depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic homelessness, substance use concerns, more severe mental health conditions and personality disorders.

Cynthia has helped clients adjust after periods of homelessness and has supported individuals facing family and long-term medical challenges. She also has extensive experience with elementary, middle and high school students, providing individual and group support for academic, emotional, behavioral and social success when earlier interventions have not resolved concerns. Part of that work involves helping teachers understand how familial, cultural and community factors shape students’ responses to instruction and learning.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded primarily in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, behavioral modification and client-centered therapy, and she adapts techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. Cynthia is known for an easy-going, warm manner and connects with clients through empathy, active listening and a sense of humor. She enjoys working with a variety of ages, problems and life situations and approaches each client with respect and a focus on practical, attainable goals.
