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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.
