LCSW, 25 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Cindy Kropp. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker graduating from Bryn Mawr College with a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2002. I currently work full time in a large hospital and truly enjoy and value working with young adults and individuals who are struggling with life’s transitions/challenges, low self esteem and making plans for next steps in their lives. I use a relational and strength based approach in my work with people. I believe all individuals have worth and value, and need to have an opportunity to make life what they have always dreamed.
A 15 minute consultation call is the first step. After a general discussion about what brings you to therapy, and an agreement that we can work together toward your goals, we will set up our initial therapy session. The first session will consist of gathering general background information and getting to know your strengths and needs.
I am a clinician who is empathic and uses a strength based approach. I meet all people where they are in the therapeutic process and can support, guide and empower individuals to be their best self.
I enjoy working with older teens and young adults who are transitioning into the next phase of their lives.
I use a relational approach initially to build rapport and trust with teens and adults. From there we are able to work together to achieve individual goals such as building more lasting and fulfilling relationships with others, managing stress and anxiety, building self esteem and self worth, and becoming an authentic self in all aspects of life. I have used this treatment modality in every clinical environment I’ve worked including outpatient therapy in office setting, family based therapy in home environment, and in large hospital facilities.
My treatment model includes one that is short term and solution focused. This approach often assists with individuals focusing on present day challenges. We work together to make significant improvements and steps to achieve one’s goals in a strength based and solution focused manner.
