Great therapist who listens and tries to understand before giving advice. I like how she is compassionate and caring. Makes it easier for me to open up without fear of being judged or feeling of any more broken hearted than I already feel. I really enjoy working with her in getting back to who I was before the trauma and abuse I had to endure for 2 years.

Cynthia is a great therapist. She is very caring and understanding and she is very easy to talk to. I have had quite a few different therapists in the past and she is the one I have stuck with due to feeling accepted and understood. I feel like I can tell her anything without feeling judged. She has helped guide me through some difficult life changes.

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.

Cynthia has been great in helping me work through my issues and giving me new perspectives to tackle problems I have
I have been in therapy for 20 plus year and never met someone like Cynthia.. she remember all the details that we speak aboiut and goes above and beyond to make sure that she addresses every point that I present
Cynthia is so very intelligent. She is warm and understanding. She helps me to grow and challenges me. She gives very thoughtful advice and is very attentive and empathetic. I’m able to unpack a lot of challenging and difficult experiences and she is helping me to feel safe, seen, and heard. I’m forever grateful.
I love talking to her. I've only had a couple of sessions with her so far, but all of them have been constructive right off the bat. I feel like I can talk to her freely without beating around the bush.
Cynthia displays strong professional skills needed in counseling individuals. She is emphatetic, active listener and gives ideas to help alleviate issues
