About me

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are in the right place at the right time, and I commend you for your courage and follow-through.

My name is Cynthia Rumford-Jones and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW), welcome to my BetterHelp Therapist profile!

Life is pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require support and therapeutic interventions to achieve the balance and overall wellness we may desire . Today is a good day as you have taken one of the most important steps towards elevating your wellness and living a life you love; you are “taking action”.

My educational background includes a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor, and an additional 10 years working in the field of social work and human services, public and private sectors. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to life transitions, anger management, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, and foster care.

I am also experienced in grief/loss, eating disorders, and challenges related to divorce and separation, multi-cultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and chronic mental illness.

CLINICAL APPROACHES
My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I utilize a client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy approach with a solution focused perspective, and have training and extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC). As a conscientious therapist it is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment and offer a style and approach that best fits the needs of each individual.

I know finding a therapist who is a “good fit” is key to the overall effectiveness and successful outcome of therapy and the task of doing so can be quite arduous. May your mission to find that “good fit” be accomplished swiftly.

If you are ready to take the next step, I’m here and looking forward to partnering with you to create a treatment plan with specific and structured goals that meet your specific needs, as well supporting and empowering you as you strive to elevate your wellness.

Cynthia is an incredible therapist. I was definitely at the right place at the right time. Cynthia helped me through complex issues I was struggling with. She provided motivation through listening, and homework exercises to help guide me through my struggles. I would strongly recommend Cynthia and BetterHelp to anyone in need of therapy!

If you want to be in the care of an immensely experienced, marvellously professional therapist who listens to you attentively, asks the right questions, finds the best course of treatment at once, and is always there to answer your painful call and give you a magic trick that brings you back to life instantly when you can’t imagine how to live through the next thirty endless minutes of panic and suffering, do go with Cynthia! Cynthia, I'm at a loss for words to express how tremendously I am grateful to you for pulling me back on solid ground from that vast emotional abyss I was free-falling into!

Cynthia has helped me tremendously with what I’ve struggled with. Not only does she find the root to things but she is so compassionate. I’ve seen Cynthia for over a year now and I could never go to anyone us for therapy. She is truly a treasure , who loves her job and it definitely shows. Thank you Cynthia
