About

Hello and welcome. My name is Cynthia Plascencia. I am a LMFT in the state of California. I believe that true healing begins in a space where you feel completely safe, seen, and supported. Whether you are navigating difficult relationship dynamics, managing a major life transition, or working towards a deeper understanding of yourself, I view our therapy as a collaborative partnership. In my practice, you can bring your whole, authentic self without any fear of judgment.

Together, we will explore your unique story, foster self-compassion, and uncover the strengths you already possess to build a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Education & Licensure
Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy from Grand Canyon University; Bachelors in Child Development with the Option to Teach from Cal State University Los Angeles.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My work is deeply rooted in a genuine desire to neurodiversity. I am passionate about creating a space where your uniqueness is celebrated, welcomed, valued, and seen. I believe that therapy should be an empowering exploration of the inherent gifts you possess. By working together to deepen your self-understanding, we will uncover your inner light, giving you the clarity and assertiveness to navigate the world with unshakeable confidence.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe therapy is most powerful when we focus on recognizing and building upon your unique, inherent strengths, rather than just looking at challenges. My practice is rooted in a deeply compassionate, affirming commitment to honoring your individuality and helping you reach your full potential. Together, we will use mindfulness to stay grounded and focused, while gently embracing new perspectives. This whole process is wrapped in compassion, self-acceptance, and grace, giving you the space to truly thrive as your authentic self.
