About

Cynthia Kindgren, LCPC

“I create a safe but challenging environment for people in which they can identify and explore their issues. I provide individuals with educational information regarding their issues and assist them in understanding and processing this information. I believe in the incredible power of the mind and the magnificence of the human spirit. I believe with guidance we all have the ability to identify issues. I believe we all have the power to change our thoughts/behaviors. I also believe we each have the potential to heal and the capability to rebuild. I believe psychotherapy, cognitive retraining and hypnosis can assist individuals in achieving a happy, healthy and balanced life.

As each individual is unique it is often necessary to utilize techniques from a variety of styles. I feel comfortable utilizing an eclectic approach based upon my patient's needs. I draw techniques and materials from cognitive behavioral approaches a well as hypnosis, dream work, insight orientated and educational models of therapy.

With 11 years of experience in the field of psychology, I specialize in treating individuals with neurological and physical impairments. I assist individuals, couples and their families in dealing with adjustment issues related to brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis etc.

.

I have personal knowledge of how to effectively cope with tragedy and manage pain. I sustained a spinal cord injury 16 years ago which resulted in quadriplegia. I have progressed from total paralysis to walking with a cane. I have learned how to access and utilize the incredible power of the mind to reduce suffering and pain. I have strategies and techniques that can help individuals and their family members cope with the many changes that follow a serious illness or injury. "
