Cynthia High-Gutierrez (she/her)
Hi, I'm Cynthia High-Gutierrez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through a variety of emotional and mental health challenges. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and hold clinical licenses in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
My clinical experience includes school-based mental health, telehealth, and healthcare settings. I have supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and stress management. I also have experience working with neurodiverse individuals and helping families navigate the emotional and educational challenges that can arise when supporting children with unique needs.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and establish boundaries that support their well-being. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your experiences without fear of judgment.
I am passionate about supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed by life's demands, struggle with anxiety, or find themselves prioritizing everyone else's needs while neglecting their own. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can reconnect with your strengths, build confidence, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges. Together, we will work toward meaningful change, helping you prioritize your well-being and create a more balanced life at a pace that feels right for you.
My goal is to help you feel supported as you navigate life's challenges and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to you. You don't have to figure everything out on your own; therapy can be a place to begin prioritizing yourself.
