Cindy Payne, Licensed Professional Counselor, is the owner of Rooted Counseling Services, PLLC in Frisco, TX.

Grounded. Growing. Thriving.

Roots are a metaphor for many things in life. They can represent the origin of family, a support network, or a personal sense of feeling connected to something bigger than yourself.

Whether you find yourself outgrowing where you were planted, or you are in need of help with grounding and reconnecting to yourself, taking the courageous step of seeking guidance allows for steady growth.

The therapeutic process entails making connections and realizations that will require pruning. In order to flourish, we must be willing to let go of things that are hindering forward movement. Cindy does this work because she knows firsthand what it is like to survey her own roots, and undergo the sometimes painful pruning required for growth.

Finding your footing and cultivating lasting change in your life can feel overwhelming, but it does not have to be done alone. Cindy is here today and ready to meet you where you are.

“Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power or our light.”

-Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
