Relationships

You are enough!
Embrace imperfection as part of being human; it's not a weakness. Fostering genuine change and resilience reveals our true strength and potential.
Availability:
I strive to be as accommodating as possible when scheduling appointments. During our initial consultation, we can discuss my available hours to find a time that works for you.
Most of my available times will be evenings between 4 pm and 8 pm,
but I will try to schedule a time that works for you if possible.
Finances and Payment:
For insurance coverage: I am an in-network provider with Headway, which manages my billing with several major insurance plans.
Before our first session, you will receive an email invitation from Headway to verify your insurance benefits and estimate your session cost.

For private pay: For clients who prefer to pay cash out-of-pocket, please contact me using the Contact page.
For cancellation: My cancellation policy requires a 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid being charged $50 for the missed session.

My name is Lucinda (Cindy) Watkins, I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Rise & Thrive Counseling. I opened this practice because I genuinely believe our relationships are the most valuable things we have, and helping people strengthen those connections is the heart of my work.
My biggest strength as a counselor is offering a non-judgmental, caring, and relatable partnership. My therapeutic approach is genuine and rooted in empathy, helping you gain the personal insight needed to modify behaviors, boost your self-worth, and thrive.
I will support you in exploring more effective thought and communication patterns, and developing coping strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and other issues that cause harm. I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate challenging personal relationships, develop lasting self-worth, and achieve personal growth.
I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together.
