Cynthia Luft, LMHC

My background as a mental health professional began with a counseling class I took in college. I found that I was drawn to the depth of connection with people and to helping them make sense of their lives.

I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology and went on to train at the C. G. Jung Institute of New York before completing analytic training through the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association. I have been in private practice for more than 20 years.

I am an engaged and participatory therapist. I listen deeply and empathically, not only for what is said at face value, but for what may be communicated on other levels. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of the work, helping us notice the patterns that show up in daily life.
