Cynthia Koskiewicz's Bio:

Cynthia Koskiewicz had worked in a corporate environment for over 10 years before making the transition to helping people reclaim the power of their hearts.   Born in Chicago and raised in the nearby suburbs, Cynthia graduated from Roosevelt University with her Masters in Clinical Professional Psychology.  Cynthia has helped people in a variety of settings.  While residing in Vermont for two years, Cynthia lived and worked in a residential work-program facility for adults with mental illness and substance abuse diagnoses.  Cynthia has also worked in outpatient clinics serving adolescents, adults and their families cope with chemical dependence and emotional disorders.  After returning to her native Chicagoland, Cynthia worked one-on-one with clients using neurofeedback, a type of biofeedback that uses the power of our brainwaves to restore emotional and mental balance. Cynthia also worked in an outpatient facility helping people challenged by opiate addiction and other emotional disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma.  Cynthia has facilitated a number of Women's Groups focusing on increasing self-esteem, assertiveness, and improving communication skills. Cynthia now sees clients in her private practice in Glen Ellyn, helping individuals and couples improve their relationship skills and find inner peace and balance.
