These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cynthia Gladyness. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Thus far, she's been very honest and very real. I can appreciate the advice that she gives.
