Cindy Vang, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Every session is crucial to the overall health and well-being of those I am working with. I believe in creating a safe space that will allow for freedom, agency, and where you can fully show up and express, as you need to. My core philosophy on effective therapy is one that is relationship-driven and collaborative of your views and narratives that guide your life. I trust my clients are the experts of their lives and that my role is to be a guide and witness to the stories that bring you into counseling.
I am a bilingual, Hmong-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I began practicing as a therapist-trainee 2012 working with adolescent youth. Since then, I have followed my passion of continuing to expand my therapy skills with children, teens, adults, and families with severe mental health conditions, complex trauma and high needs.
I actively use trauma-informed, narrative, and attachment oriented approach to working with my clients. I am trained in multiple modalities and treatment theories including but not limited to play therapy, narrative therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, EMDR, attachment focused therapies, motivational interviewing, infant mental health, and TFCBT.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family as well as reading, writing, and engaging in other forms of creative expression.
