Cindy Villanueva is a 6th year trainee in the University of Colorado Boulder’s clinical psychology PhD program. She has training and experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI).
Cindy enjoys working with individuals on identity exploration and navigating various life transitions, whether that be entering new life stages such as college or retirement or redefining a sense of self following a relationship ending, a career transition, or a role shift such as becoming a new parent. Clinically, she emphasizes a person-centered and collaborative approach that integrates a multiculturalism lens to help clients pursue a values-guided, meaningful life.
Cindy’s research focuses on emotions and risk for mood disorders, particularly in Latinx populations. She is passionate about improving mental health equity in research and treatment, including expanding access to care for marginalized groups and rural communities, such as among her hometown of migrant farmworkers.
