Getting to know Dr. Sindhia Colburn
Dr. Sindhia Colburn is a licensed psychologist in Ohio. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from The Ohio State University. Dr. Colburn pursued formal graduate training at Bowling Green State University, where she earned Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in clinical psychology, with dual concentrations in clinical-child and clinical-community psychology. Dr. Colburn completed her pre-doctoral internship at the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology within Boston Medical Center/Boston University School of Medicine, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship in integrated pediatric primary care at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. Dr. Colburn’s career has focused on advocating for families within systems that profoundly influence child development, including early childhood education, public schools, juvenile justice, pediatric primary care, and child welfare.
She has conducted psychological evaluations with adults and children of all ages, and has delivered behavioral and trauma-focused interventions to families involved with children services agencies in various settings such as outpatient community mental health, trauma-focused specialty clinics, an integrated early childhood education center, and pediatric primary care. Her clinical and evaluation interests include: consequences of violence exposure and disrupted attachments on child development; caregiver-child co-regulation; adjustment to parenting; severe mental health symptoms in children and adolescents; and culturally responsive, trauma-informed approaches to assessment and intervention.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I’m a licensed psychologist who loves supporting children, teens, young adults, and the caregivers who show up for them every day. Over my 10 years of practice, I cultivated deep experience in providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care for families affected by major life stressors, such as immigration, loss, separations, or chronic mental illness. I’m certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and offer virtual PCIT for families with children aged 2-7, along with specialized support for caregivers navigating emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. At the heart of my practice is a simple goal: creating a space where young people feel safe and understood, and where caregivers feel encouraged, empowered, and connected.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work to make therapy a space where young people feel genuinely seen, heard, and safe—somewhere you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. I pay close attention to how culture, family, and identity shape our experiences, especially when those pieces feel complicated or misunderstood, and I honor the many ways young people navigate those layers. When I work with caregivers, I help them understand what their child or teen is going through and support them in showing up in ways that feel grounding rather than overwhelming. I’m trained in PCIT for younger kids and also support teens and young adults dealing with big emotions, stress, trauma, or major life changes. My style is affirming, collaborative, and practical, focused on strengthening relationships and helping families feel more connected and supported as they grow together.
