It was our first session, so I feel some of these questions a bit premature for a single 45 minute session. Cynthia seems qualified. I have booked a second.

Words can’t express my deepest gratitude and admiration. I’m still in process of self exploration and work, however, Ms. Gladyness has been beyond helpful with her expertise or as I like to call them “doses of gems.” She has a gentle way of holding the mirror up for me and allowing me to see my reflection. Thank you!

Today was my first session with Ms. Cynthia and boy did I talk her ear off lol. I was up and down left to right tears to laughter and she sat there and “listened” to me no interruptions nothing and it brought me so much peace afterwards! She assigned self-care homework and suggested a webinar as well! I’m happy as of now. Thank you

Cynthia has been an amazing help to me! When I began counseling with her, I was in such a dark place, I could hardly talk without crying. After months of talking with her and listening to her insights, I felt empowered, clear-headed, hopeful and my negative self-talk was replaced with a kind and loving inner dialogue. I am so thankful for Cynthia, and the healthier path she helped me get back on!!!

I am completely new to this and Cynthia has already started helping me just in the couple of sessions. I never thought I could talk to a stranger about my personal problems, but she puts you at ease so that you feel you can open up and not be judged.
