Cindy Garafolo, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida
Hi! My name is Cindy Garafolo. I have been married to my husband, Jonathan, for almost 30 years and have raised 3 children. Throughout my personal journey and professional work, I've developed a deep passion for witnessing God's redemptive healing in relationships, especially in marriage and families. I've been privileged to help countless couples overcome challenges and reignite their relationships, restoring love and connection. This is my heart's work!
I offer counseling to parents, couples, families, women, young adults, and tweens/teens (age 10 and up). My mission is to empower you to discover your true passion and embrace your calling in life. Together, we'll work in therapy to provide support, encouragement, and practical resources that will help you become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself.
I also specialize in helping individuals tap into their Emotional Intelligence to better understand and manage their emotions. By enhancing self-awareness and developing effective self-management strategies, I aim to help you not only improve your personal growth but also your relationship with others. My approach is solution-focused, helping you set and achieve meaningful goals-whether they're big or small.
If you're ready to take the next step toward joy, peace, and healthy relationships, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to reach out to our office at 813-219-8844 to make an appointment. I look forward to hearing your story. Together, we'll navigate the path to healing and growth.
