I just started with my therapist Cynthia and so far it has been going well. She understands me, makes me feel comfortable, and has given me homework which is what I looked for the most. She is kind, genuine, and truly a great help so far. Can’t wait to continue therapy with her !

Cynthia is an angel. So calm and warm. I feel listened to and she asks good questions to help me find a path forward. I’m grateful for her.

Cynthia Young is truly one of the most helpful and caring individuals I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel heard, supported, and understood. What stands out most is how easy she is to talk to — there’s a natural comfort in her presence that makes opening up effortless. She listens without judgment and offers genuine guidance that comes from a place of compassion and sincerity. Her warmth and dedication make a lasting impact. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she does.
