Cindy Mitchell Perkins, MA, LCPC lives in Maine with her dog, Luna. On June 10, 1994 her car was struck from behind instantly killing her 11-year-old daughter Heidi. Today Cindy maintains a private psychotherapy practice, teaches Theraplay(R), participates in running races, and spends as much time as she can with her friends and family. She loves to read, go camping, ride her bicycle, kayak and spend time with children. She finished her public school career in 2011 after being a teacher of most grades from pre-k through adult education and spending the second half of her school career as a school counselor. She has presented since the 1980's at professional conferences on topics varying from teaching math, using music and rhythm in therapy and employing various attachment and trauma interventions. She has run workshops on stress reduction, Zentngle(R), creativity, and grief. In 2023 she published a chapter in a professional book, Theraplay(R), Innovations and Integration Edited by Rana Hong and A. Rand Coleman. Her chapter, "Music, Rhythm, and the Safe and Sound Protocol in Theraplay," helps child and family therapists integrate these modalities.
