Cindy Poulsen, LCSW
Supervising Therapist | Individuals, Couples, & Families
Hi, I’m Cindy Poulsen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Supervising Therapist at Bozeman Therapy & Counseling. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), helping individuals, couples, and families break free from negative patterns and build deeper, more secure connections. My approach is rooted in attachment science, providing a structured and supportive environment for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.
Healing & Emotional Growth
I believe that emotional struggles often stem from patterns that were developed in response to past experiences. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life transitions, therapy can help you move from feeling stuck to creating the life you’ve always wanted. My work is focused on identifying the emotions that keep you in painful cycles and equipping you with the tools to foster emotional security, self-compassion, and resilience.
Couples & Family Therapy
Relationships are the foundation of our well-being, yet they can be complex and deeply challenging. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples and families:
✔ Understand their emotional cycles and break patterns of conflict.
✔ Strengthen emotional bonds and create secure, lasting connections.
✔ Communicate in ways that foster understanding, trust, and intimacy.
✔ Navigate major transitions such as parenting challenges, loss, or caregiving roles.
By focusing on emotional safety and connection, I help couples and families move toward deeper levels of understanding and support for one another.
Navigating Grief, Loss, & Life Transitions
In addition to relationship work, I have extensive experience as a Medical Social Worker in hospital and emergency settings, supporting individuals and families through unexpected crises and profound life changes. Whether you’re facing an end-of-life diagnosis, infertility, chronic illness, or loss, I provide a safe, compassionate space to process your emotions and navigate this journey. There is hope for healing, peace, and even joy, even in the face of grief and uncertainty.
Therapeutic Approach
I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:
✔ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – A powerful approach for couples, families, and individuals to build secure emotional connections.
✔ Attachment-Based Therapy – Understanding how early experiences shape your relationships and emotional patterns.
✔ Crisis & Trauma Support – Helping individuals process grief, loss, and major life transitions.
I am also a safe and affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+ clients, committed to creating an inclusive, supportive space for all individuals and couples.

I have been married for 36 years, have three grown children and three grandchildren, and love backpacking, reading by the fire, and spending time with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Odin. My personal and professional experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of secure relationships and emotional healing.
