Cynthia Odell, LMFT

Cynthia Odell recognizes the courage it takes to admit feeling stuck and to decide that a change is needed. She understands how unsettling it can be to face uncertainty about direction and how frightening it feels to take a leap without knowing who will catch you. Many people experience the pain of outgrowing an old self, the confusion of not having a clear path, and the loneliness of being on a journey others do not see the same way.

Cynthia approaches that experience with practical optimism. Clients have found comfort in her years of experience charting paths forward - she frames the therapeutic process as a deliberate journey from where someone is now to where they want to be in the future. She enjoys exploring new perspectives and identifying places of interest along the way.

When work begins, Cynthia starts from the client’s present circumstances. She collaborates to clarify what has felt most challenging, to locate the places of being stuck, and to invite hope for what might be possible. Together they shape a vision and set goals that align with the client’s values and desires, keeping the intended destination in view.

From that foundation she helps create a personalized roadmap for change, offering a variety of practical navigation tools to move a person from one point to the next. She stays alongside clients throughout the process, supporting each step so clients do not have to travel this path alone.

Cynthia uses targeted strategies to break through the roadblocks that have prevented forward movement and works to reflect back each person’s strengths so they can recognize themselves as whole and capable. She is an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and applies her training to guide people toward the life they want and deserve.
