About Cynthia
I'm Dr. Cynthia Minto, Ph.D., LPC, founder of Wellness Journey in Colonial Heights, Virginia. For more than 20 years, I have helped adults navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions through my work in community mental health and military service. As a retired military member, I have a deep appreciation for the experiences of veterans and their families and understand the challenges of service, loss, and change. I also have a longstanding commitment to supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, believing that every person deserves dignity, belonging, and the opportunity to thrive. My approach is grounded in Somatic Experiencing® and integrates EMDR, Expressive Arts, and Sand Tray Therapy, offering a holistic path to healing that honors both mind and body. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can build resilience, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
