Cynthia is kind and thoughtful and listens without judgement. Would absolutely recommend.

Reviewed December 2024

Cynthia is absolutely amazing. She really listens and understands what I'm saying when I open up to her about different things. She helps me to understand the root of my problem and process through my emotions in a healthy way. Everytime I stumble or fall, Cynthia helps stand back up, helps me dust myself off, and walks with me back up the road of healing, encouraging me every step we take.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
