Crane Counseling, LLC 7313 Millwood Road, Bethesda, MD 20817

"Cindy was very effective in helping me work through, and then past, a traumatic event. Our conversations helped me to better understand my life today and my possible future trajectories."

"Cindy worked with me through my own insecurities my own issues and my own challenges. She is one of the best therapists I have ever had and also one of the best humans I have ever known. If you’re looking fir someone who genuinely cares about you, checks in on you and pushes you to be a better you please consider Cindy Crane she will change your life and help you on whatever road your on."

"Cindy’s terrific. I went to see her when a number of worries were hitting at the same time – most importantly, my father was dying in the midst of the pandemic, when I wasn’t able to be with him on a number of occasions, including hospitalizations. Sometimes when you’re in the midst of a particularly tough time, you don’t think you can make time to go meet with someone – but it’s important that you make time for yourself. Cindy was empathetic and helped me work through my feelings when I was being hard on myself. She gave me that safe space to talk, and she walked me through a couple of mindfulness exercises that (i) helped me get my focus during the day and (ii) helped me fall asleep at night if my mind was spinning with the issues of the day. I’m so grateful that Cindy was there to help me through a really difficult period."

"Cindy Crane offers empathy, insights, and advice. I never left a session without a new insight about myself or my situation that gave me new understanding or perspective. She shared her knowledge freely and was refreshingly honest and direct. She built me up when I was being hard on myself and gave me fresh courage, tools, and in a few key instances, worked with me on a step-by-step plan to resolve various COVID-related crises in my household. If I had the time, energy and resources, I would have liked to continue with her just to see where the journey might lead. For now, I am grateful to her for her support during a very challenging time."

"I had the good fortune to begin my therapy at Crane Counseling about 7 years ago. Over the years, Cindy has supported and counseled me through many major, traumatic life changes and challenges. She is everything that you would want your therapist to be: warm, kind, perceptive, insightful, and a highly skilled and competent clinician. Being an introvert, I'm not the type of person who likes to share information about my problems, feelings, and moods. As a testament to Cindy's nurturing and compassionate ways, I never felt uncomfortable with opening up to her about my life. She has a way about her that helped me feel as if I was sitting down and talking with a friend. Whenever I left her office, I always felt more hopeful, more positive, and better than before I sat down on her couch. I have nothing but praise, appreciation, and gratitude for her support and counseling over the past 7 years."
