Cymone
Hello! My name is Cymone (pronounced like Simone) and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I serve clients who have experienced family strain, concerns with their interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I specialize in psychedelic psychotherapy.
​
I am currently not accepting clients. Please contact me if you would like to be on my waiting list. You may also contact another therapist if you have an immediate need.
About Me & How I Practice
In my therapeutic practice, I integrate the depths of existential and humanistic therapies with a keen focus on the intricacies of racial issues, identity exploration, and the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My approach is underpinned by a commitment to understanding and nurturing the complex web of human connections, guided by how we attach to others. This perspective enables me to support clients in exploring and healing relational patterns that have been shaped by early attachments and life experiences, fostering healthier and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
​
I believe that our journey towards self-discovery and healing is deeply influenced by our cultural and racial/ethnic backgrounds. I am dedicated to providing a space where the exploration of racial/ethnic identity and the challenges associated with it can be navigated with empathy and respect. Recognizing the profound impact of these factors on one's sense of self and belonging, my practice is attuned to the nuanced experiences of individuals from diverse racial and cultural contexts.
​
Further enriching this therapeutic landscape is the incorporation of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, grounded in the principles of transpersonal psychology. This innovative approach offers a unique lens through which we can explore consciousness, transcend traditional notions of self, and tap into profound sources of insight and healing. It is particularly effective in addressing existential questions, deep-seated emotional pain, and facilitating a reconnection with one's true self and purpose.​
​
In our work together, you will find a compassionate ally dedicated to exploring your unique life story, including the rich tapestry of your racial and cultural heritage. Our journey will be one of collaboration and discovery, aimed at nurturing a deeper, more authentic connection to yourself and others, healing relational wounds, and embracing a life of meaning and connection.
​
Whether you are navigating the complexities of identity, seeking to heal from past traumas, or aspiring to transcend current limitations, I am here to support you with expertise, empathy, and an open heart.
Currently, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, co-owner of Reconnect Marriage and Family .
