Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of both Florida and Alabama. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.
I am so passionate about working with my clients, meeting them where they are at, to best support and guide living a more authentic life with relief and healing. I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents who may experience anxiety, phobias, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, mood and personality disorders, chronic pain or illness, and dissociative disorders. I understand how difficult it may be to begin therapy or find a therapist that is right for you. My goal is for you to be seen, heard, and supported and I believe finding a therapist you can connect with is everything and necessary to make change. With my expertise in EMDR, CBT, and DBT, I believe we can make long term change and relieve the distress you are experiencing because I have seen it can happen firsthand. I am dedicated to prioritizing your own comfort and collaborating with you on what approach best suits you. I hope to connect and support you to work towards feeling like you again.

Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feeling of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
And if you're not seeking faith based counseling? No problem at all! With over six (6) years of professional experience, and a host of treatment methods to rely on, you can rest assured in my ability to meet you uniquely in your place of need. Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to.
I believe there’s hope for everyone, even those feeling utterly defeated in this season of their lives. If you’re here, then take it as evidence; the time for healing is now.
I'm a Flagler College alumnus ('95) and recently moved back to Saint Augustine with my wife and our three children. I've started my own practice, Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops!
