Cindy Navarrete

A Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, with a focus on mental health and trauma, grounds Cindy Navarrete’s decade of clinical practice in Loveland, Colorado. That academic foundation, combined with her background in psychology and ethnic studies, shapes an approach she describes as person-centered and strengths-based — one that leans into what people already carry rather than cataloguing what’s broken.

Cindy works with teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges: anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, trauma and abuse recovery, eating disorders, addiction, relationship conflict, and the particular pressures that come with parenting and caregiving. She also brings considerable experience with adolescents, including those on the autism spectrum, and with individuals facing cognitive or intellectual disabilities. For clients who notice that the habit of staying constantly available — never fully resting, never genuinely off — has quietly worn down their nervous system’s ability to settle, that too is something she takes seriously in session.

Cindy draws on CBT, trauma-informed care, solution-focused brief therapy, REBT, exposure therapy, and existential approaches, selecting what fits the person rather than the method. She brings humor alongside clinical rigor, and offers sessions online for those who need flexibility.
