She supports children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Cyndi creates a warm, collaborative environment where clients can feel understood while building practical skills to improve emotional health, relationships, and everyday functioning. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, with an approach tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Cyndi provides individual and family therapy, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and family therapy to support emotional regulation, resilience, and healthier communication patterns. She works with diverse populations, including individuals connected to adoption and foster care, those with autism spectrum disorders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, while offering additional support for a wide range of mental health concerns. Cyndi is especially dedicated to helping individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands how critical this transition period can be and focuses on creating stability, reinforcing coping strategies, and supporting reintegration into daily life. Her work emphasizes consistency, safety, and empowerment, helping clients regain confidence and continue progressing in their recovery journey. Outside of her clinical work, Cyndi enjoys hiking and spending time outdoors, as well as relaxing with a good book or a cup of coffee. She values meaningful connections and enjoys spending time with her dog and friends, bringing a sense of balance and authenticity into her life and therapeutic work. Cyndi Bontrager proudly provides mental health therapy services throughout Tennessee, offering accessible, personalized care designed to support long-term well-being.
