About Cynthia
Cynthia Churm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Cynthia also brings experience addressing blended family issues and related stresses.
She helps people talk through relationship problems and family conflict in plain, direct conversation. Sessions focus on real-life steps rather than jargon. Cynthia adapts the pace and topics to each person she sees and responds to what matters most in day-to-day life.
Clients can expect straightforward work on grief, loss, and the lingering effects of trauma. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication problems, and codependency. For people facing medical or caregiving strain, she draws on experience with chronic illness, cancer, and caregiver stress.
Cynthia’s approach is practical and respectful. She listens for what is getting in the way of functioning and helps identify small, testable changes. That can mean practicing clearer communication, setting new household routines, or sorting priorities during life transitions.
Over three decades of practice have included supporting people through aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related issues, body image, and problems with control or dependent personality patterns. Her work is aimed at helping people manage current problems and find steadier ways of coping.
