Hello! I’m Cynthia Herr - registered social worker, offering in-person psychotherapy services in our beautiful St. Thomas office, as well as online psychotherapy to clients throughout the provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia.

With over 28 years’ experience working in hospitals, community mental health agencies, and private practice, I have been privileged to learn from clients and other health care providers about how chronic illnesses impact the lives of people struggling with their physical and mental health. I provide trauma-informed care, and have specialized training in CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, as well as other mental health treatments. My clients also have access to psychiatry services, on an as-needed basis, coordinated with your family physician,

Reaching out to someone you don’t know can feel intimidating - but it doesn’t have to be! When accessing psychotherapy services, you can expect compassion, warmth and, at times, a bit of therapeutic humour. I look forward to working with you!

Is your child or adolescent struggling with anxiety, sadness, behavior challenges, or difficulty navigating school and/or friendships? Are you or your teen feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Do you ever feel like you’re trying your best, but it never seems like your efforts are enough? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that are having a negative influence on your ability to cope?

You’re not alone. When children become withdrawn, stressed, or are struggling to cope, many parents become concerned, but aren’t always sure how best to help. Seeking support for you and your child is a courageous step and can make a meaningful difference in your confidence, emotional wellbeing, and ability to manage life’s challenges.

At Refined Wellness, children and teens can expect a safe, supportive space to express themselves, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional awareness. Parents can expect guidance, strategies, and insight into how to support their child’s growth, while also addressing family dynamics and relationships. Together, we will explore what’s getting in the way, identify patterns, and develop practical tools to manage emotions, behavior, and stress.

I use approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of your child, teen, or family.

Whether you’re looking for support for your child, parent guidance, or personal therapy as an adult, I provide a warm, non-judgmental space in St. Thomas, Ontario where healing, growth, and stronger connections can take root.
