Cynthia RIley JD, LCSW

Who

I earned an MSW as a nontraditional student after a career in law and while maintaining an ongoing real estate business. I returned to school because I love learning and because I believe in the value of evidence-informed therapy. When I am not in session, I am a ceramicist, reader, volunteer, traveler and coffee drinker.

My training includes work with a variety of modalities: 

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Trauma-Informed Care

• Financial Therapy 

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

• Motivational Interviewing

• Narrative Therapy

• Post-Traumatic Growth Orientation

what

Clients can learn to make their lives easier experimenting with evidence-based tools supporting:

• better emotional regulation

• more effective communication

• thought reframing

Where and How

Virtual therapy via a HIPPA-compliant platform in Texas. Coaching in Texas and beyond.

Individual Sessions

• Fifty-minute individual therapy sessions during business hours are available by video to clients in Texas.  I do not accept insurance at this time.  Session cost is $200.00.

• Fifty-minute individual coaching sessions are available by video to clients in Texas and elsewhere. Coaching offers accountability support and concrete skills-based work with a present and future lens.  It is distinct from mental health therapy.  Session cost is $200.00.

Group Sessions

Group sessions, with shared cost, can make therapy more affordable. Group sessions also provide valuable social connection and support. These sessions are generally held weekday evenings. Session cost is $50.00.  Groups may focus on a variety of interests including:

• Working with ADHD (Entrepreneurs, helpers and other professionals navigating workplace success)

• Making Money Easy (Improve your relationship with money)

• Thriving in transitions (relationships, career change, moves or retirement)
