WELCOME.
I'm glad you're here. Perhaps we should cut to the chase. I'm sure the question at the top of your mind as you explore this site is: Can she help me?
The truth is, we won't know until we start — but I can tell you this: I will try my damnedest, and I imagine you will too.
Let's see if why you're here is in my wheelhouse.
You're grieving and need a safe place to land — to explore what loss means and who you are while you're going through it
You're a couple wanting to improve things between you, or trying to figure out whether you can stay togethe
You're a writer navigating an industry in upheaval, trying to figure out who you are in all of it
You're a man who hasn't done much therapy and wants to give it a shot — concerned about your relationships, your work, who you want to be
You've experienced trauma and want help exploring it safely, so it has less of a hold on your life
You're struggling with anxiety or depression, or the world just feels like a little too much right now
Sometimes what brings someone in doesn't fit neatly into any of those — and that's fine too. Either way, you might already be picking up on my vibe: I'm kind, I'm direct, and I care. Whatever brought you here, reaching out takes courage. It means you have hope that things can feel different. And believe it or not, that's a real start.
What is therapy? What will happen?
What happens is we meet and we talk. I'll ask a lot of questions and I'll listen. I'm relaxed and inquisitive, and I may notice connections that help you make some meaning out of what has been feeling complex, confusing, or painful — or all of the above. And with the talking and the listening sometimes I have practical ways of helping. Every now and again I might suggest something to try between sessions — ways to ground yourself, to cope with the loudness of life. As we build our bond, we'll explore the past, the present, and your hopes for the future. We'll face whatever brought you through the door, and we'll go from there — with respect, curiosity, and a genuine look at the parts of your life you want to change or simply understand better.
So yes, we won't know if I'm the right fit until we meet — and I mean that both ways. I offer a free consultation because this is a two-way street: we both need to feel it's a good fit before we begin. But I hope what's here gives you a sense of what it's like.
And me?
I'm Cynthia Greenburg, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist practicing throughout California. My approach is warm and containing, as well as curious and collaborative — because I believe the best work happens when we're genuinely in it together.
It bears repeating: Welcome. I truly am glad you're here. Let's talk, see what's possible. As I always say, it's amazing what can happen when you feel heard.
Therapy with Me
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering in-person therapy in Pasadena and online therapy throughout California. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking clarity, healing, or simply a steady place to land. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, familial estrangement, relationship struggles, creative blocks, or a major life transition, therapy becomes the space where your inner world can finally exhale.
My approach brings together deep therapeutic exploration and grounded, practical insight. In our work, we will:
• With clarity, activate the kind of growth that changes your life from the inside out
• Look at the external and internal forces shaping your experiences
• Build mindfulness so you can better understand the patterns you’re living within
• Nurture your creativity and strengthen your connection to the part of you that imagines, dreams, and executes
• Expand the self-knowledge needed to make choices that truly reflect your values and desires
Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, help healing old family wounds, or support as a writer or creative professional, I hold a space where insight can unfold and new possibilities can take shape.
Sometimes the smallest action becomes the beginning of profound change.
Let’s begin.
