First off, air high five to you for allowing yourself to seek out support! And thank you for considering me to be a part of your healing journey. I am a lesbian therapist whose approach is authentic, accepting, empathetic, patient and humoristic. My main goal is for you to feel confident about who you are and your ability to navigate life's stressors. I will probably ask 879 questions along the way to better understand you and get an idea of the whole picture. However, I want you to feel empowered from the start to say, "OMG Hannah, stop asking so many questions!" Therapy is a collaborative process and your voice matters most.

I work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, two spirit, queer people, their friends and allies.
Live your truth. Follow your bliss. Do you. Sounds simple, right? Except that, all too often, we convince ourselves that who we are is not enough, that what we want is undeserved. So we stifle our talents, ignore our truth and deny our deepest desires. Before we know it, we’re living someone else’s life, satisfying everyone’s expectations but our own. All to earn the love and acceptance we don’t feel worthy of otherwise. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I have clients who identify as hetero, bi, gay, lesbian or queer and clients who hold trans- or cis-gender among their identities; also clients in monogamous, poly,&negotiated open relationships.
As a Marriage & Family therapist, I'm attuned to clients’ interconnected webs of relationships even when working 1-on-1. My experience & training with families & couples enables me to walk with clients through (re)discovering their connectedness to those they love. I’m most passionate about exploring clients’ stories & listening for places where personal narratives might differ from others’. This often provides spaces for clients to explore new or neglected understandings of themselves & their relationships leading to preferred, more fulfilling future stories. I enjoy working with clients across cultural, sexual& gender identities.

Supporting growth in self-awareness helps us lean into who we are, accept ourselves, and look at growth edges that may be painful or scary. As a therapist, I encourage my clients to achieve better ways of engaging with problems of living and improve personal well-being by expanding self-awareness and developing interpersonal communication skills. I practice from a clinical, Gestalt-oriented, developmental lens with evidence-based approaches, to support clients where they are and as they engage in the therapeutic process.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Cynthia Tyson, but you can call me Cynthia. I know first-hand that life sometimes takes sharp turns on us - we can face sudden transitions, lose people we love, and generally get overwhelmed by the pace and heaviness of our challenges. For most of us, these challenges can get in the way of our truth-telling and testimony. That's where I come in. I can help guide you through the work of healing, growth, and self-discovery that comes with learning to navigate your way through crisis, chaos, and suffering.

I serve clients in Ohio, Illinois, and DC. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to fit each person I encounter. In general, I favor a relational approach that draws from psychodynamic perspectives. I understand how our earliest experiences and relationships can shape us, and I am deeply interested in what your early experiences and relationships taught you about the world. I also draw from third wave CBT modalities in order to assist you in unlearning those early lessons when needed. In this way, you can feel free to reshape living strategies which helped you to survive your past, but which are no longer serving you.

The climb towards resiliency and wholeness can prove to be steep. Beginning that process in the midst of painful life circumstances and finding a therapist who is well equipped, and a good fit to make that climb with you, can prove to be another difficult endeavor. If you find yourself struggling with relationship challenges rooted in family of origin (complex trauma), a cruel inner critic, or are recovering from high control spiritual/religious communities or purity culture, then we may be a good fit. I work with adults, primarily LGBTQIA+ identifying folx, to develop balance and peace within their lives and relationships.

Each day we strive to know better and do better. Each day we can reflect on how things went and adapt for the next day. We get to celebrate successes and, with or without success, we get to celebrate growth. Growth can be uncomfortable and yet continuous lifelong growth is necessary to live a life of fulfillment. Sometimes we all need someone with us on our life journey of making meaning of our experiences and finding purpose and reaching goals.
