Hi! I am Cynthia Cayer Sandoval, MS. I moved to Park City for the Olympics and fell in love! For 35 years I have been fortunate enough to have had experience working in multiple settings in the field of counseling treating children, adolescents, and adults. My services include individual therapy, family therapy, and group counseling for all ages. In my free time you will find me out on my trail bike or if I am I am lucky in the powder!!!

If anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, or the challenges of living with a health disability have been weighing on you, you do not have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a space to feel understood, gain clarity, and move forward with more confidence. I work to create a warm, respectful environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and build on your strengths. Together, we can work toward meaningful change in a way that feels supportive, personalized, and realistic for your life.

Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.

If you're reading this, there is a chance that you need an outlet, a safe space, as you're carrying more than you allow others to see. Is it worsening depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or stress? Maybe life itself has become exhausting, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're navigating seasons of change that has left you lost, disconnected, or uncertain. Whatever it is, I offer a safe space with warmth and compassion with the ease of not having to figure it out alone.

You deserve a chance to heal, persevere, and overcome obstacles that hinder you from your best self. One of bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story, truth, no matter how it looks. I look forward to being apart of your journey.
