Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Cindy Reyes, LCSW, and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals and families. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health, helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree and have dedicated my professional career to supporting diverse populations in achieving emotional wellness and personal growth. In addition to psychotherapy services, I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and immigration psychological evaluations, including asylum, extreme hardship waivers, VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, N-648 disability waivers, and substance abuse evaluations.
My treatment approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe that every individual has strengths and resilience that can be built upon to overcome challenges and create meaningful change. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed interventions, strength-based techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Together, we will identify goals, develop practical coping skills, and work toward improving your overall well-being.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life stressors, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move forward with confidence and hope. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and emotional wellness.

03 · What happens next
Cindy practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Cindy's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Cindy at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Cindy is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Cindy.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Cindy actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Cindy's - Cindy has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Cindy's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Cindy. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
