Cindy Speakman, LCSW California BBS #66060

I am a psychotherapist who believes healing begins with being truly seen, heard, and understood. I work with adults navigating life’s most complex emotional experiences—including grief and loss, empowering them to move forward in a more healthy, happy and peaceful direction in the journey of life.

Along with earning my Certified Grief Educator Certification, I am also a Certified Bereavement Counselor and a trained facilitator in the Healing After Loss grief support program. I offer both individual and group grief therapy, honoring each client’s unique grieving process with empathy, understanding and acceptance. Grief is a universal experience, but is not well understood or accepted in our society. I strive to help those experiencing grief and loss to feel understood and accepted, wherever they are in their journey. 

My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and often infused with gentle humor. Clients described me as kind, empathetic, a great listener—and someone who genuinely cares.

I believe that therapy doesn’t end when the session does. I often invite clients to explore reflections or practices between sessions to deepen their insight and progress. I am truly honored to support you in creating a more grounded, fulfilling life—one step at a time.

You’re not broken—just bent. Let’s find a way forward.

I am available to support people navigating their grief journeys through both in-person and online counseling sessions. Having experienced my own traumatic and personal losses has led me to want to serve others in grief, and guide in the understanding that grieving is about connection, not closure. I can personally relate to your grief around sibling and parent loss, loss from suicide, loss from cancer and pet loss.

Grief does not always revolve around a death. Losses that affect our daily lives can include dissolving a marriage, losing a job, or the anticipatory anxiety of the passing of our elderly parents. My goal is to meet each client where they are on their grief journey, provide an open heart, and walk alongside them.  This is my way of turning pain into purpose.

I am a licensed therapist with over 15 years experience.  I approach my work with clients from a trauma-informed perspective and bring a strong sense of compassion that is rooted in the belief that everyone’s pain is valid.  

I work extensively with grief and all of the complex emotions that can come up around any kind of loss or unwanted change.  Grief is a deeply personal and unique experience for everyone.  I work to help my clients feel seen and supported in their grief journey and never judged to be further along or somewhere other than exactly where they are.  

I specialize in helping my clients to understand and repair childhood wounds, heal from narcissistic parents and partners, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, recovering from perfectionism and parenting.  A large focus of my practice is helping my client’s to develop self-compassion to better understand themselves, their reactions and their relationships.  I work to help people form a kinder and more loving relationship with themselves and to let go of self-criticism and move towards a place of love and self-acceptance.  

Therapy can be a deeply personal and rewarding experience and I believe that it is essential for you to feel comfortable, safe and understood by your therapist. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so that you can decide if I am a good fit for you.  I am currently only offering online session via phone or zoom.
