"Healing restores self-trust, untangles the harm of distorted relationships, and allows us to live — and lead — from truth."
With over 25 years in the mental health and wellness space!
With over 25 years in the mental health and wellness space, Cynthia Santiago-Borbón is a licensed psychotherapist and transformational coach who supports women healing from narcissistic relationships, workplaces, and family systems — and reclaiming clarity, self-trust, and inner authority after years of emotional distortion and depletion.
Her work centers women who have been conditioned to over-function, self-abandon, or carry responsibility for others’ emotions, and who are ready to rebuild their lives from a place of truth, sovereignty, and self-led living.
Cynthia believes that personal healing serves the collective, and that how we live, work, and lead should reflect our vision for a more liberated world. Her spaces are known for being deeply compassionate, spiritually grounded, and unapologetically committed to meaningful transformation — both inner and systemic.
Cynthia holds a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Arts from Hamilton College. She is certified in Positive Psychology, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Reiki Mastery, and as a Mindful Meditation teacher. Her work and insights have been featured in USA Today, New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Day, Bustle, Byrdie, NBC, The Bulwark, Squarespace, Columbia University, and the National Association of Social Workers.
An initiated Lucumí Priestess of Obatalá, Cynthia weaves ritual, ancestral wisdom, and spiritually grounded practices into her work when appropriate and desired by clients. These traditions inform her understanding of healing as both personal and collective — rooted in right relationship with self, community, and the sacred.
When she’s not guiding others, Cynthia can be found salsa dancing with her husband, designing jewelry, reading a self-development book, or playing with her goldendoodle, Cielo.
Cynthia’s mission is to help shift planetary consciousness by guiding others to heal deeply, lead boldly, and live in right relationship with themselves, each other, and the Earth.
