Hi! I’m Cindy.

My name is Cindy Jones (she/they).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I completed a Master of Education in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. I also completed a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Art History from the University of Texas at Austin.

When I was a kid, I wanted to become a professional soccer player. Life had other plans, and I’m so glad it did. Being a therapist has given me the gift of tenderness. There’s something incredibly powerful about witnessing someone navigate pain, while still reaching for connection. It’s taught me that healing happens in relationship, and that being truly seen matters.

When you come to therapy with me, you’re going to meet a real person. I make jokes, I might curse, I’ll probably show you pictures of my cats. I value authenticity - yours and mine.

Before becoming a therapist, I had a seven year career in youth education. I directed a small charter high school in East Austin where I provided individualized support to students and their families. I’ve always connected with young people who are trying to figure out life, identity, and where they belong. Those years gave me a strong understanding of the public school system, and a big heart for helping folks feel supported in environments that don’t always make space for them.

At the core of my work is the understanding that we are shaped by our relationships - and we heal through them, too. I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens, which means I don’t look for what’s “wrong” with you. I listen for the stories, pain, and experiences that have shaped how you move through the world.

Outside the therapy room, you can find me bouncing between coffee shops, running along Town Lake, or parked in the sun with a book or sketchpad in hand.
