Getting to know Cindi MacDonnell

Cindi has been a Clinical Mental Health Counselor since 2015. She obtained a bachelor’s of Social Work before continuing her education in clinical mental health. She specializes in trauma, domestic violence, PTSD, grief, anxiety, OCD, depression, and panic attacks. Her approach is eclectic and humanistic, meeting her clients where they are. She has taken classes from Bessel van der Kolk who specializes in research and treatment of PTSD and trauma. She has also received training from the DOVE Center on domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault. She also draws on therapeutic techniques of Internal Family Systems, Advanced Integrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy having taken classes on those approaches to mental health. Cindi also has personal experience with individuals on the autism spectrum as she has a daughter with autism. She also completed training at an Autism Symposium to gain further understanding of the disorder. Cindi has a passion for helping individuals and couples learn new skills so they can become the best version of themselves. Those skills or tools include, but are not limited to, mindfulness, self-care, self-compassion, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping, Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), communication skills, reframing, and psycho-education. She has had close to 700 different clients over the past seven years at her previous employment at a non-profit organization that served those in the community that were uninsured. These clients were diagnosed with everything from anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, schizophrenia, personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissism, autism spectrum disorder, OCD, and panic attacks. She has seen clients that identified as transgendered, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, and even polyamorous. Her own son was homosexual and her daughter identifies as bisexual so the LGBTQ community is near and dear to her heart.

What should a new client know about working with you?

After booking, Tava Health will text and email you a link to complete intake and join your video therapy session. After you complete intake, you’ll be able to log in to Tava to join your session, book additional sessions, and message me. Appointments are for talk therapy over video. I can not provide medication prescriptions, emotional support animal (ESA) letters, or immigration psychological evaluations.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Cindi believes that the human body, mind, and spirit have incredible resiliency and capacity to heal. She has walked her own path to healing and desires to share her knowledge and wisdom with others so they can achieve their greatest potential. Her motto is “be the change you wish to see in the world” because the only thing one has control over is their own thoughts and behaviors.
