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!!!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate the compassion Cynthia has demonstrated toward me, but yet firm in what I need to do to move on.

Reviewed September 2024

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.

Reviewed June 2024

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.

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.
