Hi! I’m Cindy!

Licensed Therapist [LCSW, RPT, ITR-CTT]

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Colorado and Alabama and Registered Play Therapist. I have obtained a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Florida State University, a post graduate certificate in Play Therapy from the University of Wyoming, and a post graduate certificate in Equine Assisted Mental Health from the University of Denver. For the past 18 years I have worked with children and their families as a psychosocial, individual, and group counselor, case manager, elementary school teacher, tutor, and now as a trauma informed children’s behavioral health therapist utilizing play therapy techniques. Child-Centered Play Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Instinctual Response to Trauma Method, and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy are my biggest influences when working with children and their families to connect, heal, and grow through play. I believe that when children are given a chance to lead, explore, and demonstrate their own resiliency—they are given the opportunity to grow, heal, and change from within. I am currently working on my certification in Synergetic Play Therapy. At Play Heal Grow, children are provided a safe and calm atmosphere where they feel comfortable to be themselves and communicate through play freely. I work with children to help them explore and process their thoughts, problems, emotions, and regulation through play. Through parent support, I work to empower parents with skills to help their children navigate emotional needs, self-regulation, and build self-resiliency at home and in their daily lives. I support parents in understanding their emotional needs within the parental relationship, to understand their own windows of tolerance, and how to model self-regulation for their children.
