Professional Background
Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW, brings a wealth of training and experience to her current private practice in Integrative Therapy called Cynthasis: integrating various cutting-edge therapies to help people integrate. Some modalities she uses include brainspotting, EMDR, core energies, parts work, and guided imagery.
Cynthia has been a therapist, speaker, and trainer in the mind/body field for over three decades. The tools she shares with her clients are traditional and non-traditional modalities. Her book, The Curious Voyage: A Rule-Breaking Guidebook to Authenticity, presents many of these modalities. Cynthia can help people get to the origin of their pain and heal with compassion and wisdom. Working somatically and cognitively, she sees the power of bringing awareness to the body, mind, and spirit as dissociated, lost, frozen parts heal. Cynthia is passionate about helping people shift from automatic pilot to intuitive wisdom.
She has presented for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, the National Association for Social Work, and the Clinical Society for Social Workers. She has been on faculty for the Institute of Core Energetics from 1986-2012 and continues to give trainings and workshops on brainspotting nationally and internationally. Most recently Cynthia developed and trained professionals in harmonic brain healing, a modality that helps release stuck thoughts and horrific images.
