Cynthia (Cindi) Bates, MEd, MA, is a Registered Psychotherapist (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario #009700) working with individual adults (18+) who struggle with issues, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and trauma, among other mental health challenges.
Cindi is trained in and practices EMDR (Basic) and Flash Technique (Basic and Advanced). She is a relational therapist who integrates contemplative therapies – mindfulness, compassion and acceptance – as well as Schema work, attachment style exploration, parts work and other modalities into EMDR.
Cindi especially enjoys utilizing Flash Technique because it is an exceptionally effective approach that appeals to her sense of joy and connection as she actively participates in the client’s Positive, Engaging Focus storytelling. Clients are frequently blown away by how the technique works to “take the punch” out of a target memory that frequently starts as troubling and ends as distant or remote.
