Meet Cindy Trawinski, Psy.D.

My passion is helping professionals who are practice owners — like you — realize and achieve the dreams and aspirations you had when you started your practice. I know we are succeeding when you are excited, feel the surge of possibility wash over you and start to take action!

I have extensive experience in marketing and business development, serving as an executive in private industry for 17+ years. In addition, I have been clinical psychologist and business leader for 25+ years and owned two psychotherapy practices. As a business strategist and consultant, I bring these experiences and other learning from my career to practice owners.

Experience & Background

As a founding partner of LifeWorks Psychotherapy Center and North Shore Psychotherapy Associates, both in the Chicago area, I oversaw all finances, operations, marketing, strategy, planning as well as the development & implementation of processes and programs. I created and lead psycho-educational programs for personal and professional development and provided psychotherapy to clients.

I also spent 17+ years in private industry as marketing and business develpment executive. It was during this time, I was first introduced to and started applying the priniciples and concepts outlined in Gino Wickman’s Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business.

I am the former CEO of the Process Work Institute, in Portland, OR, and a member of the International Association of Process-oriented Psychology (IAPOP), in Zurich, Switzerland.

In 2020, I created DeepWell.xyz, an online library of audio-recorded inner work exercises, inspired by my training and work using process-oriented psychology (process work) personally and professionally. An inner work exercise is a guided process of self-exploration that relies on noticing, articulating and following your experience in order to solve problems, find a new point of view, work on relationship conflicts or make decisions.

My experience also includes being a 10,000 Small Businesses Scholar and diplomate in Process-oriented Psychology (also known as process work).
