Cynthia Jenkins, LMHP

Cynthia Jenkins is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) with 34 years of experience providing counseling across a range of settings, including low-income communities as well as university, senior citizen, and community counseling centers. Her background also includes teaching psychology at universities in Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri, alongside more than a decade training post-graduate students in psychology topics used to prepare for board exams in medicine and dentistry.

With a PD in Social Psychology, Cynthia has studied conflict in its many forms, including social, ethnic, and political dynamics, through exploration in various countries. Her professional history also includes over 30 years as a Licensed Massage Therapist. These experiences inform an approach that is intentionally eclectic and responsive to each person’s unique needs and context.

Cynthia values learning through travel and connection with people across cultural, political, and spiritual perspectives, and she is drawn to creative crafts and artistic expression. Coming from an eclectic family background shaped by many different identities and lived experiences, she brings openness and curiosity to the counseling process. She meets clients where they are and supports them in exploring where they want to go mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually as they work toward feeling better and pursuing their goals. Outside of her work, she has long cared about the environment, loves the outdoors, and still enjoys playing in the rain.
