HI, I’M CYNTHIA…
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Registered Therapist who believes in living life to the fullest. I enjoy working with children, teens and families, and my passion is helping others get through life’s hurdles and into living with their best self.
Cynthia R. Eldridge, MS, MBA, MFTI, PCCI
I have been in professional practice since 2013, providing support for anxiety, coping skills, PTSD, depression, mood disorders, family conflict, and transition. I have worked in school-based therapy (public schools in the Sacramento area) for four years, and have also provided services in the community counseling setting. I am certified as a Prepare-Enrich Couples Counselor and serve on the premarital counseling team at The Rock Church in Elk Grove, CA.
I provide mental health screenings for those who seek candidacy for elective weight-loss (bariatric) surgery in the Sacramento area (established referral relationship with Dr. Benjamin Shadle and Dr. Ruby Gatschet). I’m very familiar with the surgery process and the cognitive, emotional, and relational preparations that one must make in order to prepare for surgery.
My approach to therapy focuses on creating a warm, nurturing, and accepting environment where this important work is done together. We all get “stuck” sometimes—whether through an unexpected life event that was out of our control, an expectation that wasn’t met, or sometimes, we just have trouble deciding the next steps for our lives. I have a humanistic and solution-focused orientation, which emphasizes the importance of previous experiences while recognizing strengths, creativity, and choice in the here-and-now.
