Cynthia Jenkins, LMHP

Cynthia Jenkins, LMHP, is licensed in Nebraska and has 34 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and sleep problems, and mood disorders. She describes an eclectic, client-focused approach that draws on multiple therapeutic styles to meet a person's needs.

Her background includes counseling in low-income communities and at university and community counseling centers. She has taught psychology at universities in Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri. For more than a decade she trained post-graduate students in psychology topics related to board exams for medicine and dentistry.

Jenkins holds a Ph.D. in Social Psychology and has explored social and political conflicts in several countries. She also practiced as a licensed massage therapist for over 30 years, which influenced her interest in body-based and experiential work. Travel and engagement with different cultural and spiritual perspectives inform her clinical outlook.

She uses a mix of methods rather than a single model. Her stated approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Jungian Therapy. She aims to combine these methods to address practical problems like coping with life changes, codependency, communication issues, and multicultural concerns.

Outside of clinical work she spends time on creative crafts and the outdoors. She notes an interest in environmental causes and says that personal creativity and nature are meaningful in her life.
