I have considered therapy for a while. I finally worked up the courage and tried BettetHelp. I’ve only had one therapist with BetterHelp, but I could not have found a better match with Cynthia. She has taken the edge and anxiety out of the “process” and had created an environment that feels like we are just talking, but talking with a purpose.

Cynthia has truly been a God send to me! I wanted a therapist who would take time to listen to me and help me actually work through my issues. Although there are many, I know Cynthia is committed to helping me end this cycle and truly understand how to have a life worth living. At our first visit I told her I wanted a therapist to hold my feet to the fire as I was tired of running. She works hard to give me the time I need to express myself, she provides invaluable materials that assist me in my journey. She has a genuine heart and you can tell how much she truly cares. She is always responsive to me when I need her and I have never felt rushed. I feel important to her. I am so glad I have found her!

Cynthia is affirming and supportive. She is helpful with suggestions and revisits goals to keep the therapy focused. She respects my input and invites me to decide on the direction of therapy.
