About Cynthia

My name is Cynthia Pineda, and I am a Mental Health Counseling intern from Alfred University. I am a first-generation Latina woman from the Bronx, NY, and my personal and professional experiences have emphasized the importance of creating spaces where individuals feel safe, heard, understood, and empowered.

Mental Health Counselor
Intern

I also have five years of experience in school counseling, where I have worked closely with teens and young adults navigating academic, social, emotional, and personal challenges. I utilize a person-centered approach while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy modalities to support clients throughout their counseling journey.

I am passionate about fostering an inclusive, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for individuals of all backgrounds and identities. I value social justice, cultural awareness, and the importance of meeting clients where they are with empathy, respect, and compassion.
