HELLO!

My name is Cindymarie McPipe. I am a psychotherapist with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Social Work. I have 14 years of experience at the VA Medical Center working with Veterans and their caregivers by providing resources and emotional support for those suffering with memory loss. I also have 7 years of experience at Hennepin County working with adults and children who suffer from mental health illness and those in crisis situations. I have worked at Levan Counseling for 2 years as a psychotherapist. I have experience and enjoy working with individual adults, couples, and teens.

I am a very compassionate therapist. I believe in building a positive and interactive therapeutic relationship with my clients. I enjoy helping and seeing others succeed in their therapy journey and life by learning new coping skills to manage their mental health. I encourage my clients to speak openly and remembering their feelings are their feelings and they are valid.

My therapy techniques are focusing on a person’s strengths, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered thinking approach. My style as a therapist is providing support in a non-judgmental environment. My role as a therapist is to not “fix” the person but to assist you in finding guidance in enhancing your coping skills with new situations and challenges encountered in life.
