Cindy Centofanti | Outreach Director
Cindy Centofanti is most commonly known in the community as an American-journalist who placed an emphasis on covering military/foreign affairs for various ABC TV stations across the country. Since graduating from Central Michigan University in 2016 (prior to the University of Georgia 2012 – 2014) with a BA of Science – Broadcast Journalism, she has covered highly notarized events, not limited to but including the Afghanistan troop draw down, ongoing crisis in Ukraine and on-going advocation/coverage for behavioral health issues relating to active-duty personnel and Veterans.
Her first station WTVM-TV was situated in Columbus, Georgia home to Ft. Benning, now Ft. Moore where she anchored and produced the morning weekend shows in conjunction with reporting. Continuing her goal as a foreign correspondent, she accepted a reporter position in Colorado Springs, Colorado as a reporter for KRDO-TV. In her position there, she covered over two dozen suicides relating to military personal and Veterans. She uncovered information from the Pentagon revealing that Ft. Carson ranked # 3 out of all the United States military instillations for having the highest active-duty suicides.
Shortly upon reporting this and having close ties to the military herself, she decided that more had to be done to find a solution instead of just reporting on it.

It is my goal that our therapeutic relationship is one that will create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and feelings about your life. My passion is to assist clients with gaining the necessary skills to navigate life stressors.
My treatment focus is primarily cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapy which means we will tackle issues head on and set goals and accomplish change in as brief a time frame as possible.
Clients will learn to manage difficult emotions, discover their inner resources, and grow. I emphasize self-care, mindfulness, and reframing with a trauma informed care philosophy. My goal is to help clients gain skills that will transform their life.”
As a family therapist this quote seems to sum up the powerful work of therapy and how healing yourself is very powerful:
“With single mindedness, the Master quells his thoughts. He ends their wandering. Seated in the cave of his heart (hridaya), he finds freedom. Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded. But, once mastered, no one can help you as much – not even your mother or your father.”
