Cynthasis was founded by Cynthia Schwartzberg, a therapist, trainer, speaker, and author, to bring together the many threads that have shaped her life’s work: grounded clinical training, neuroscience-informed practice, and the wisdom of body–mind–spirit traditions. Cynthia’s path includes both traditional education and decades of experiential study, including movement and somatic approaches, meditation and mindfulness, and shamanic/spiritual lineages, woven into an attuned, practical way of supporting change.
Today, she offers trainings, consultations, and groups (with CE options), including Brainspotting, along with her signature approach, Harmonic Brain Healing™, and the teachings of The Curious Voyage to Authenticity—for clinicians, helpers, and seekers ready for real, lasting transformation.
Whether you’re a clinician expanding your skills or a seeker ready for meaningful change, this space is designed to be practical, attuned, and deeply human.
My story begins with a lifelong love of teaching and supporting others—from “playing school” as a child, to tutoring friends, to helping people with physical impairments learn to swim. I started college as a math major, but it didn’t take long to realize I was far more interested in people than equations. So I followed that pull into psychology at American University and eventually into a life devoted to healing, learning, and meaningful change. Along the way, I also spent time in advertising and public relations, which taught me how to communicate clearly, connect across differences, and translate complex ideas into something real people can use.
In the midst of my personal and professional evolution, I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University, became faculty with the Institute of Core Energetics, and began teaching internationally. I co-founded Core Energetics South and later founded the Southeast Brainspotting Institute, expanding Brainspotting training, consultation, and community in the Southeast.
What has guided me throughout is a grounded, heart-led commitment to human dignity and inclusivity. I’m continually inspired by the ripple effect: when one person becomes more resourced and authentically themselves, it changes how they relate and that shift can travel outward through families, workplaces, and communities because we’re interconnected.
My experiences have taught me the power of empathy, compassion, and deep attunement in bearing witness. Dance, yoga (including a 200-hour certification), and somatic training have infused my work with creativity and embodiment, while my studies with shamans have connected me with ancient wisdom. These influences, together with neuroscience and mindfulness, inspired me to develop Harmonic Brain Healing™, an integrative approach that helps people release old patterns and reconnect with authenticity
Today, I continue my work as a therapist, trainer, speaker, and author based in Atlanta. I stay a committed student of life and ongoing professional learning—so my work remains grounded, current, and responsive in a changing world. Whether I’m teaching clinicians, mentoring helpers, or writing (including The Curious Voyage to Authenticity), my focus is practical and human: helping people move from reactivity to choice, and from disconnection to meaningful connection.
Outside of work, I’m happiest in motion—hiking, biking, kayaking, and traveling. Nature and cross-cultural connection keep me grounded and curious, and they deepen my commitment to making a positive difference through shared humanity.
