New Faces at TLCC!

May 29, 2022

Our team of counselors continues to grow at Transforming Life Counseling Center, offering increased opportunities for our client referrals to be seen more quickly. As many may know, the field of counseling, in general, continues to be challenged to take on larger caseloads in an effort to keep up with the growing needs in our communities. TLCC is no different. We are pleased to bring quality therapists in to support this need. Our pre-licensed candidates and interns receive supervision by our therapists and can offer lower fees in an effort to support clients needing therapy at a lower cost.  


Please meet Cindy Rose, Kayleigh Alameda, Riley Hancock, and David Martin. Their bios are below and online. For more information, our phone number is (405) 246-5433.

Cindy Rose, LPC Candidate

Cindy holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma. She has experience working with individuals experiencing grief, trauma and relationship issues by utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.


Her counseling philosophy is based on assisting her clients with mindfulness skills for maintaining psychological flexibility. She has a passion for helping her clients live a more meaningful life through chosen values, positive self-acceptance and engagement in the present rather than ruminating about the past or projecting concerns for the future.


Cindy acknowledges that personal change can be challenging but believes with a commitment to healthier behaviors and flexible attention of thought processes, individuals can achieve a more resilient approach to life. She is honored and privileged to enter the therapeutic process with her clients and support them on their journey for positive life outcomes and healing.
