Cynthia Amante is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Relationship Coach. She Georgia Board Certified, PREPARE/ENRICH Certified and has been in the field for 15 years, and private practice for 10.

Cynthia knows the importance of feeling seen, heard and knowing that we matter in our relationships. She also knows an absence of these ingredients are the basis of where most relationship struggles begin.

Helping couples is her calling and passion. She has always been interested in how people navigate their relationships in the best of times and the worst of times. She knows first hand how painful, frustrating, and confusing it can be to try to figure out how things got to the point a person finds themselves at and uncertain what to do next. She has the tenacity and resilience to help those that find themselves stuck and that just want to feel better.

Cynthia has a compassionate, yet direct approach that her clients appreciate. Cynthia provides a safe space for her clients, which is necessary for her clients to be able to bring forward their concerns with confidence and transparency. She not only incorporates her educational training and ongoing research she has completed into therapy, but also real-life examples/ideas that she has experienced personally that have proven to be helpful to her clients.

Cynthia enjoys working with highly motivated individuals and couples who know what they want, but lack the tools to get there. Cynthia has special interest in working with individuals and couples challenged by communication difficulties, conflict resolution, building intimacy. She enjoys guiding clients through science-based, relationship skill-building tools and proven strategies that are designed to inspire healthy communication and deeper connection.
Beyond therapy/coaching, Cynthia enjoys spending time with her partner, children, and grandchildren. She enjoys traveling, reading, college football, and long lazy days to recharge.

Misty and Cynthia work very closely together to ensure great coordination of care for clients and couples and often follow a very similar approach.
