Interests
Hello! My name is Cindy Voelz. I am a psychologist and the founder and director of New Perspectives. I enjoy working with adults who want to improve their mood, their relationships, and/or their satisfaction with life. Over the years, I have taken specialized training in marital therapy and also in working with older adults. I also enjoy teaching and periodically teach classes in weight loss, self-esteem, improving relationships and other wellness topics.
My approach to working with people comes from two sources, cognitive therapy and interpersonal theory. The cognitive approach essentially says that how a person thinks about a situation determines how they feel about it. In therapy, I work with my clients to identify thought processes which create and support sad, anxious or angry feelings. Then we work together to change those thoughts into more positive thoughts (or a new perspective!) which promote and sustain more positive feelings. Interpersonal theory involves taking a look at relationships and how they work. I work collaboratively with my clients to look for ways to break out of negative relationship patterns and establish more satisfying ways of connecting to others.
I have been married for over 25 years and am the proud mother of two grown children.
