Lua Cavela PLLC Information

Lua Cavela PLLC is a therapy, consulting, and training practice founded by Cindy Recinos, LCPC. The work is grounded in attachment theory, psychodynamic practice, and culturally responsive care. Lua Cavela focuses on how people make sense of relationships, identity, and change over time. The way people learn to connect and protect themselves shows up in how they respond to stress, how they engage in relationships, and how they manage conflict and closeness. It influences patience, emotional reactions, boundaries, and the ability to stay present with others. The practice works with first and second generation adults, including individuals from Latino, African, and South Asian backgrounds who are navigating different cultural expectations across home, relationships, and work. Many clients are balancing multiple cultural systems while also trying to understand themselves more clearly in relationships. Services include individual therapy and relationship focused work for adults who want to understand patterns related to anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and emotional closeness. The work is best suited for people who are open to reflecting on their experiences, noticing patterns in relationships, and making changes over time. Lua Cavela also provides premarital support for couples who want to better understand how their family experiences, communication patterns, and expectations shape their relationship. For organizations, Lua Cavela offers consulting and training focused on workforce transitions. Layoffs, restructuring, and leadership changes affect not only operations but also trust, stability, and how people relate to each other at work. Workshops are designed to help teams understand and respond to these changes in a thoughtful and practical way. Lua Cavela provides therapy and consulting services in English and Spanish for adults across Illinois through Telehealth.
