About
Hope and Light Counseling/Cynthia Kilby-Queen, LCAS, LCMHCA, NCC, CADC – Counselor/Therapist
I am a private practice mental health and drug and alcohol counselor serving clients in and around North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change, for you. I look forward to working with you to addresses your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
Treatment Approach
I utilize a person-centered counseling approach that is based on the client’s needs, and I incorporate Christian, cognitive-behavioral, emotionally focused therapy, psychoeducational, and biopsychosocial approaches and techniques to move toward a tailored treatment plan to help clients recognize strengths, overcome struggles, and sustain the growth.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
