About Cynthia
Cynthia Dimon, LCSW
she/her
Licensed therapist
I provide online therapy for women to help them trust themselves, develop confidence, and make important life choices out of desire instead of fear. I specialize in trauma therapy that helps my clients to operate based on who they want to be instead of what happened to them. I have spent my career working with women from all backgrounds.
I am an LCSW therapist with certifications in third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT, ACT, DBT and Mindfulness), and trauma-informed psychotherapy. Following college, I wanted to stay in the Bay Area to continue my work in the Oakland neighborhoods where I was born and raised. The beginning of my career was spent working for several large community mental health agencies in the San Francisco, Oakland,
and Berkeley.
In addition, I devoted time to teaching graduate counseling psychology in the areas of trauma, problem-solving, and violence prevention.
When I pivoted to running my own private practice, my goal was to help women break through the reverberating limitations that trauma creates. While my work has often been described as "helping women to realize their dreams" by people who know me professionally, the truth is that I see my work as helping women simply claim the right to use the tools that are available to them to change, grow, and thrive.
