Great therapist who listens and tries to understand before giving advice. I like how she is compassionate and caring. Makes it easier for me to open up without fear of being judged or feeling of any more broken hearted than I already feel. I really enjoy working with her in getting back to who I was before the trauma and abuse I had to endure for 2 years.

Cynthia is a great therapist. She is very caring and understanding and she is very easy to talk to. I have had quite a few different therapists in the past and she is the one I have stuck with due to feeling accepted and understood. I feel like I can tell her anything without feeling judged. She has helped guide me through some difficult life changes.

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.

Cynthia is so very intelligent. She is warm and understanding. She helps me to grow and challenges me. She gives very thoughtful advice and is very attentive and empathetic. I’m able to unpack a lot of challenging and difficult experiences and she is helping me to feel safe, seen, and heard. I’m forever grateful.

I love talking to her. I've only had a couple of sessions with her so far, but all of them have been constructive right off the bat. I feel like I can talk to her freely without beating around the bush.
