She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Hi, I'm a licensed psychologist who is passionate about improving women's mental health, addressing sources of anxiety/stress, perfectionism, grief/loss, and trauma. I'm especially effective at working with women who are highly motivated to see change in their lives. Despite a strong desire to break through their circumstances, they often feel overwhelmed and stuck. They share that they need practical, hands-on strategies to help them overcome their problems.
I take a highly collaborative approach in our work, meaning that while I give clients necessary information to make an educated decision, clients are in control of their treatment throughout the entire process.
To get a feel for my style, I've included several pieces of feedback I've heard from clients who have enjoyed working with me:
1. "You see me and you hear me. I'm not alone anymore. This is the first time I've felt so understood."
2. "You are a safe place to just be myself with all my imperfections. I don't have to worry about putting on a mask."
3. "You give me practical tools to help me deal with my problems. I've made so much more progress in working with you over the past month than I did with my last therapist in years."
If it sounds like we could work well together, feel free to call the office or request a consultation: https://www.rootedingrace.org/request/service
