Cindy Collins (she/her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #13651
SPECIALTIES
Trauma and PTSD, EMDR, Depression, Anxiety, Self-harm and Suicide Ideation, Dissociative Disorders (DID), Physical, Sexual, and Emotional Abuse
I specialize in working with trauma and PTSD using neurological approaches to address the many manifestations of trauma such as depression, shame, addiction, and anxiety.
Using various trauma treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), and Cognitive Process Therapy (CPT), we will work together to will support you in exploring your past experiences in a safe space, at your own pace so that you can get past your past and live a meaningful, and embodied life.
Therapy can be scary and taking the first step of reaching out for a consultation call is the scariest step because there are so many unknowns and “what ifs?” involved. My clients have shared that after that the first call, they feel less anxiety moving forward and their anxiety significantly reduces with each session.
I work with clients in their late teens (15+) and adults with a variety of presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, addictions, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation… to name a few. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and despite having attended a Christian university, I personally do not subscribe to any religious beliefs. I work with clients of all beliefs, whether they are Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, or atheist, and will integrate your beliefs as little or as much as you would like in our work.
