Cynthia Hooyman, LCSW

I work from a client-centered, trauma-informed framework that blends CBT, psychodynamic understanding, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, psychoeducation, behavioral activation, relaxation skills, and exposure-based therapies. Healing is not linear, and we move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Progress often shows up in small but significant ways — the kind you notice when you pause and realize something inside you is shifting.

I understand how trauma and everyday stressors shape the ways our minds and bodies learn to survive. I will help you learn how to transform trauma or everyday stressors into a source of strength, clarity, and personal power. Together, we’ll explore the patterns you developed to protect yourself, honor where they came from, and build new coping strategies grounded in emotional safety and self-trust.
