My name is Cynthia Kariuki, a compassionate therapist dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients. I use an integrative approach, combining person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to foster resilience and growth. I empower clients with tools for lasting change, self-awareness, and holistic healing tailored to their unique needs.

‍

I believe that true peace of mind, both for oneself and others, is grounded in holistic well-being and resilience. These are qualities I deeply value, continually cultivate, and am passionate about fostering in others. therapy, grief and loss, and play therapy for both children and adults.

I use the “Therapy That Works” framework—a comprehensive model that unifies various therapeutic modalities. Among the most rewarding aspects of my practice is the incorporation of mindfulness, a discipline I greatly admire. As Jon Kabat-Zinn describes, mindfulness is “the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” This principle informs both my professional work and personal life. Art, play, somatic, as well as talk, therapy are incorporated in my practice, supported by Bowenian, Narrative, Solution focused and Emotionally focused theories.  

I am a licensed therapist with experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal challenges.

My approach is holistic and creative, blending modalities like CBT and trauma-informed care with art therapy and play therapy to meet clients where they are. I use art as a tool for nonverbal expression and insight-building, while play therapy helps younger clients (or adults, if applicable) process emotions in a safe, engaging way.

By integrating mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and creative techniques like sand tray or guided imaginative play, I empower clients to explore their inner worlds, reframe narratives, and build resilience.

My practice is rooted in collaboration, ensuring sessions are tailored to individual strengths and needs, fostering self-compassion and lasting growth.
