Cynthia Bonifer, M.S. LPC

I was raised in St. Louis, but have lived in Corpus Christi since 1982. I received a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi in 2002, a Master of Science Degree in Counseling, also from TAMUCC, in 2011, and a Master of Science Degree in Special Education from TAMUCC in 2015. I have worked with clients during internships at the University Clinic and Early Childhood Education Center, as well as at Blunt Middle School in Aransas Pass, and most recently at Flour Bluff ISD High School.

I am retired from the Federal Government, where I served on the National Critical Incident Response Team, helping employees heal after a traumatic experience. I am also retired from teaching, most recently as a Special Education Teacher and Case Manager for FBISD students. I have experience adapting and teaching social and emotional skills to students with autism and learning disabilities. I also have experience helping students and families dealing with trauma.

My goal in our sessions is to provide you with a safe and caring environment, and assist you with your challenges and growth. I enjoy working with children and teens, students with special needs, as well as those of us who have reached retirement age. I offer an eclectic, holistic approach to suit the needs of my clients, and like to use Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative & Expressive Therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Play-Attention Therapies. I can assist clients with PTSD, ADHD, ADD, Autism, Learning & Physical Disabilities, Grief & Loss, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Management. I am certified as a Strong Star Network Provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy.

Cynthia sees clients ages 4 and up and is available Monday thru Friday, hours vary.
