Cynthia Rumford-Jones, LCSW

Cynthia Rumford-Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley. She brings 22 years of professional experience in clinical practice and social work, supporting people through transitions, emotional challenges, and complex family dynamics. Her clinical background spans work with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related issues, parenting and foster care concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Cynthia follows a warm, supportive, and interactive therapeutic style that emphasizes empowerment and practical problem solving. She draws from client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s perspective, cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Her work also attends to relationship and family issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and the effects of guilt, shame, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Clients can expect collaborative treatment planning with clear, structured goals tailored to their needs. Cynthia aims to meet people where they are, offering guidance, skill-building, and support as they work toward greater balance and wellbeing.
