Cynthia Speakman, MSW, LCSW

Cindy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who practices in the State of California. She received her Master’s in Social Work from CSU, Long Beach, and has been licensed since 2015. She provides individual psychotherapy to adults, and has experience treating: Grief and Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic/Life-Limiting Illnesses, Life Transitions, Codependency, Religious/Spiritual Abuse, LBGTQ+ issues, Women’s Issues, Older Adults, Pregnancy, Infertility, and Postpartum issues, Parenting, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Anger Management, Low Self-Esteem, and ADHD. She is a Certified Bereavement Counselor and provides individual and group grief and bereavement support.

Cindy is trained in Healing After Loss, a support group curriculum, for individuals grieving the loss of a loved one. She is also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for treatment of Anxiety Disorders. She incorporates relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices to assist clients in reducing their anxiety, and increasing their ability to focus on their goals, better manage their symptoms, and learn how to implement healthy coping skills. Cindy may assign “homework” for clients to work on in between sessions, as much of therapy occurs outside of the 50-minute session.

Cindy is excited to be able to offer her skills to provide therapeutic and healing services to you!
