Cynthia von der Lehr, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

As a first-generation Mexican American and the first in my family to attend college, I understand the challenges of balancing different cultures, navigating family expectations, and finding your own path. Those experiences taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of having support during life's transitions. While everyone's story is unique, I know what it's like to feel pressure to have it all figured out while carrying responsibilities that others may not see. These experiences continue to shape how I show up as a therapist—with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person's journey. My goal is to provide an inclusive, affirming space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment, rejection, or shame. I am committed to creating a welcoming environment for individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you're exploring identity, navigating relationships, facing life transitions, or working through anxiety, grief, or stress, therapy should be a place where you feel safe, respected, and understood. I believe healing happens when people feel accepted for who they are, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they build greater confidence, connection, and well-being.
