Cynthia Shereda
EMDR Therapist Brooklyn, NYC

I’m an integrative psychotherapist specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) alongside traditional psychotherapy, working with individuals seeking deep healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and periods of life transition.

My approach combines careful clinical preparation, supportive guidance during non-ordinary states of consciousness, and thoughtful integration work to help clients translate insight into meaningful, lasting change. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University’s School of Social Work in the Advanced Clinical Practice track and was part of the inaugural cohort of Columbia’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Training Program. My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed care and incorporates EMDR as a core modality for processing traumatic memory and emotional patterns, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and clinical hypnosis.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than 30 years in corporate law advising global organizations and leading diverse teams of professionals. This background informs my grounded, thoughtful approach to helping clients navigate complexity, high-pressure environments, and personal transformation.

I work collaboratively to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where exploration, insight, and growth can unfold at a pace that feels right.
