Cindy earned her B.S. in Psychology/Child Life from Utica College in upstate NY, where she also played D3 Basketball for all four years. She is a former Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS), and worked with pediatric oncology patients for several years before moving to North Carolina. She has always loved working with children and families,  and most recently was working with adolescents at a residential psychiatric facility that specialized in the treatment of eating disorders. As a Behavioral Health Technician (BHT), she provided guidance and encouragement to clients, while teaching them emotional regulation and crisis de-escalation skills. These experiences shaped her awareness of the need for mental health services for children of all ages and the importance of family-based care. She is excited to use her administrative skills and mental health background to serve the families that come through Triangle Child Psychology!  Outside of work, Cindy enjoys spending time with family and friends, including her dog, Leo! She also stays active with sports and exercise, trips to the beach, reading, and cheering on her favorite hockey team.

On any given day, you might see Bodhi wandering through the office suite. He is our sweet, yellow Labrador who loves people and is available to work with children and teens in session when requested to help them regulate their emotions, learn new skills, or calm and soothe them while talking through difficult emotional experiences. When he’s not working, Bodhi enjoys hiking, napping, and traveling.

Nala is Bodhi’s younger sister, a sweet yellow Labrador puppy, and our therapy dog in training. Born in February, she is currently busy enjoying puppyhood, learning good manners, and practicing the important skills she’ll need to help children and teens feel calm, supported, and comfortable in session. When the time comes for Bodhi to retire, Nala hopes to follow in his pawprints and continue his very important work - likely with plenty of tail wags along the way!
