About Cindy Williams
Life can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling, emotions are running high, or family stress starts affecting everyday life. I provide a warm, supportive space where children, teens, and caregivers feel understood while building practical tools for growth and resilience.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 17 years working in pediatric healthcare, supporting children and families through every stage of development. Today, I bring that experience into therapy, helping families navigate behavioral challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, family transitions, and neurodivergence.
As a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish, I am passionate about creating culturally responsive care where every family feels seen, valued, and supported. My approach is trauma-informed, relationship-focused, and grounded in helping both children and caregivers feel confident and connected throughout the therapeutic process.
Specialties:
Children & Adolescents • Parenting Support • Family Therapy • Neurodivergence • Emotional Regulation • Trauma • Behavioral Challenges • Bilingual Therapy (English/Spanish)
