Recent reviews
Cynthia is a careful listener and has a welcoming warm personality. She is nonjudgmental but still provides critical feedback on request. She also points out things I fail to see on my journey and points out when I fail to be consistent with my own goals. I like that she holds me accountable but is extremely pleasant and caring about how she does that.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She also points out things I fail to see on my journey and points out when I fail to be consistent with my own goals. I like that she holds me accountable but is extremely pleasant and caring about how she does that.
Cynthia has been such a steady and supportive presence in my life. She’s patient, compassionate, and always makes me feel heard and understood. Through our sessions, she’s given me practical tools that have helped me navigate some really difficult times. I’m so grateful for her guidance and the safe space she creates to grow and heal.
So far Cynthia has been a delight to talk too. Looking forward to growth.
Cynthia is so very easy to speak with. I like the fact that she gives me examples using “real-life coping skills” for some of the issues.
She is such a major assist in just soldiering on through life.
Cynthia is by FAR one of the kindest, sweetest, most caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure speaking with. I have come a long way from where I was and I credit most of that to how Cynthia has been professional while also being a person who has shared her own experiences with me. She is an amazing therapist and an even better human being!!!
I appreciate the compassion Cynthia has demonstrated toward me, but yet firm in what I need to do to move on.
To have a therapist who truly cares, who remembers all the little things, who checks on you, who recognizes you for changes you have made, who feels like a friend all at the same time…. It’s made such a difference . I’d recommend her to anyone’.
Cynthia is wonderful. She really understands what I feel like I need to discuss every week, even if the topics are jumping all over the place. She is extremely kind and compassionate and I have never felt more comfortable talking to another therapist. She truly provides a safe space and a judgment-free zone.
Cynthia is awesome as a therapist. She leaves time for me to choose direction of therapy. She kept in touch with me when I took a break thru & after the holidays, to make sure I was doing ok. Her guidance and compassion is easily demonstrated.
She’s amazing she will help you be strong and get you through anything!
Cynthia is absolutely amazing. I found her after I didn't really click with the previous therapist I was matched with, and I have been so pleased with her. She listens to your concerns, and will work with you however you need in order to move forward. She is extremely welcoming and truly just wants the best for you. I am so glad I have found Cynthia.
