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.

Cynthia has been great to work with.
Excellent Therapist. Listens compassionately and good at working through problems
Cynthia has provided me tremendous support as I navigate the trauma experienced with the sudden loss of my son. It’s a long process ahead of me to cope with my grief and I’m taking it day by day thanks to Cynthia.
Dr. Cynthia Young is a true blessing in my life. Her wisdom, compassion, and guidance have been instrumental in helping me navigate life's challenges. She has a unique ability to connect on a deep spiritual level, providing not only professional support but also uplifting my spirit. I'm grateful for her presence and the positive impact she's had on my journey.
Cynthia is lovely. Very nice energy and extremely professional. I have a great sense of comfort speaking with her.
I highly recommend Cynthia who is literally the best therapist I’ve experienced and I am so thankful that Cynthia is my therapist.
She’s a good listener and responds well with my concerns. Sends me work sheets to practice with my stress and anxiety
Great supportive and understanding Therapist
Beautiful person and excellent therapist
She is wonderful.
Cynthia is wonderful support for me around a challenging family situation. She is compassionate and quick to understand the issues and has offered me good ideas and helped find additional resources for me to seek even more support outside of our sessions. I have benefited a lot already from out first few sessions. So grateful to have her in my corner!
