Cindy Hamilton

Cindy Hamilton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wyoming with 30 years of experience. Her career has focused on serving youth and families, particularly those involved with the foster care and criminal justice systems. She holds a strong commitment to work that supports permanent family solutions through safe reunification, adoption, or guardianship while affirming the importance of birth family involvement when appropriate.

Her work has included supporting alumni of the foster care system as they develop new parenting skills and address patterns that affect family life. Her clinical areas of focus include depression, anxiety, abandonment, trauma and abuse, parenting and relationship challenges, and issues related to children and parents affected by incarceration. She also assists families with adoption preparation and disruption and with managing ongoing connections to birth families.

As a foster and adoptive parent, she draws on lived experience alongside professional training. Her counseling style is relaxed and includes an appropriate sense of humor. She emphasizes dignity and respect for differing perspectives and lifestyles and uses solution focused methods, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral strategies, and person centered approaches. She begins where people are and accompanies them toward their goals.
