Cindy Hamilton, LCSW

Cindy Hamilton, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Wyoming with over 30 years of experience as a social worker supporting youth and families. Much of her career has been dedicated to serving people connected to the criminal justice system and the foster care system, with a steady focus on helping families move toward stability, safety, and lasting connection.

She believes every child deserves a permanent family, whether through safe reunification, adoption, or guardianship, and she also advocates for children being raised within their family when it can be done safely. She especially values working with adults who have been in foster care as they work to interrupt painful patterns, build new skills, and create healthy, safe homes for their own children.

Through this work, Cindy has developed experience supporting concerns such as depression, anxiety, abandonment, trauma, and the impacts of abuse and neglect, along with parenting challenges and relationship stress. She also works with the unique needs of children with incarcerated parents and with incarcerated parents themselves, and she helps families navigate adoption preparation, adoption disruption, and the role of birth family involvement and ongoing management.

As a foster and adoptive parent, she draws from lived experience while staying open, curious, and collaborative in the therapy room. Her style is relaxed and includes an appropriate sense of humor, grounded in the belief that dignity and respect are rights everyone deserves. She honors different perspectives and lifestyles and integrates approaches such as client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, starting where each person is and walking alongside them toward healing.
