About me

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience counseling at-risk children, youth, and families. My areas of special interest are attachment disorder, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, parenting, and severe mental illness. I have experience in couples counseling and family reunification.

I am direct and empathic with people. My approach to counseling is person-centered and eclectic, combining attachment-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness to meet the needs of the couple. I believe in a collaborative approach to treatment and will work with you to develop a plan that meets your unique need(s).

Change is hard and I will be there with you every step of your journey, cheering you on and guiding you to reach your goals and achieve mental wellness. I look forward to working with you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Cynthia Agbayani. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Dr. Agbayani is very insightful, supportive, and attentive - she identifies conflicts btwn two people well and provides tools/exercises for her clients. It has been very beneficial to have her as a counselor. I respect her opinion and know that she has my best interest in her heart. Thank you !

Dr. Agbayani is absolutely amazing. I love how up front she is and she calls you on your BS. There's no sugar coating with her and I absolutely love that about her. She does give you homework and really gets to know you as an individual and a couple.
