Cynthia is a wonderful therapist. She listens to your needs and concerns and tackles them accordingly. She's willing to work with you on scheduling and everything. She has helped me significantly just from our first meeting. I greatly appreciate her time and would recommend her to anyone.

Thank you Cynthia, you have been an incredible support during a difficult time.

She is very compassionate and understanding. Cynthia tells you straight up to “take accountability”. I admire the work she puts into my sessions.
