Introduction

I'm Cynthia Holmquest, CSW-PIP, QMHP, a clinical therapist who believes effective therapy begins with trust, authenticity, and a willingness to meet people where they are. My approach is warm, direct, and individualized. I work especially well with clients who have complex histories, have struggled to feel understood in traditional therapy, or need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from trauma-informed care, EMDR, CBT, DBT, Play therapy, attachment-based approaches, and other evidence-based interventions, while tailoring treatment to the person in front of me. Collaboration and continuity of care are deeply important to me. I value working alongside psychiatric providers, physicians, families, schools, and other professionals to create thoughtful, coordinated care. I'm fortunate to have developed strong professional relationships with providers who trust me with their patients and continue to refer individuals to my practice based on the progress they have seen in our shared clients. Above all, I want clients to have a space where they can be honest, feel understood, and do meaningful work-not simply manage symptoms, but understand themselves differently and create lasting change.
