Meet The Specialists

Cindy Surges O’Donnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has been in practice for over 25 years. She earned her Master’s Degree from the University of Illinois/Chicago. Cindy has a second Master’s Degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Lynchburg, VA. For the first ten years of her career, Cindy worked as a Social Worker in the Healthcare field, helping families and individuals navigate through chronic and terminal illnesses. She transitioned from Healthcare to private practice and ministry work, helping families, adolescents, young adults, and parents who experience adjustment issues, grief and loss, marital discord, parenting challenges, health issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, communications issues, life transitions, and conflicts in their faith. Cindy particularly enjoys helping individuals and families deal with life’s highs and lows, and joys and sorrows, while navigating individual issues, couples, or other relational conflicts, and finding their way back to emotional wellness. The answers lie within us, but we sometimes need someone to walk beside us, in order to discover what we need to do and where we need to go.

Cindy is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), as well as the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC). In her free time, she enjoys reading, music, an amazing cup of tea, gardening or being outdoors, being involved in her church, and enjoying time with family and friends.
