I read a couple of people's questions on your online forum earlier today, and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the answers you gave. It is not just experience that gives you the ability to answer just the right thing. --MP
The thought that you are listening to me and helping me to look at things in a more healthy way, is helping me to stay sane. Thanks for being there for me Cynthia. All those testimonials are your web site are true, but they can't even come close to explaining the care that you have given to so many. Bless you for being you. --RC
I've told you all my deepest darkest secrets, even stuff I haven't told my husband, and you never judged me and always made me feel normal. I can't thank you enough for that, it's been an incredible gift.

I can totally say that I probably wouldn't still be alive if it weren't for you! I had tried several other doctors and therapists and just kept getting more and more depressed. It was confusing too because everybody told me different things and nobody really had an answer that was helpful. I started feeling better after the first session with you. You gave me hope I didn't have anymore. You sent me to the right doctor for the right medication. You cared and followed up with me to make sure nothing was falling through the cracks. Normally I would have been able to do all of this myself, but when i came to you, I just couldn't anymore. I could tell you saw something good in me I couldn't see in myself anymore. I was really close to killing myself, and you turned that around. I am so grateful, I can't even tell you! Anyone I come across who needs a therapist I tell about you. Thank you!!

Yes, [your book] has helped. To be honest, I am not that depressed anymore. The book is excellent.
...I had a real conversation with her after asking myself, "What would Cynthia do?" I knew you'd look at me directly and ask me frankly, "Have you told her how you are feeling?" And then i'd say something about not feeling worthy. But instead, I chose to honor my worth and ask for what i needed.
My life is pretty unbelievabe, by the way. I have an incredibly challenging yet rewarding job, a beautiful family, and i'm relatively SANE! Whenever my students or others ask me how i did it, despite the obstacles, i tell them my story...and it ALWAYS includes those months (or years?) of therapy with you as a CENTRAL part of finding my way out of the dark.

I never even knew you did all that... no wonder you were such a great therapist! Thank you so much for all the help you were to me.
I have been doing well. I am happier and more adjusted than ever.

Cynthia,
I just want to let you know what a gift your book is to me. I am nearly finished with it and it amazes me that it is holding my attention for such long lengths of time. I have not been able to concentrate this long in over a year (mainly because of PTSD). I absolutely love my therapist (literally, that is another issue I'm dealing with) and she uses talk therapy. It has been so helpful for me and I can't even imagine where my head would be if I had not been seeing her every week for a year. So I'm not complaining.
I just want to let you know that I can see how the cognitive aspect will really help me. You have written it in a way that is easy to understand and opens my eyes to why I feel and do some things. Your support both in the book, and online has been such a comfort to me. I was starting to lose hope with all the setbacks my son has had, but now I am really trying to keep a positive attitude, as being depressed hurts too much.
Thank you so much! You have been a blessing to me.

Hi! I was a client of Cynthia's and I wnted to share my experience because it was phenomenal! I had been in therapy for yrs already with someone else and i got alot out of it but I kept feeling really uncomfortable with my partner when he touched my breasts. I love him dearly and didn't want to feel that way but I couldn't help it and nothing else seemed to help. Cynthia did EMDR with me for some sexual stuff that happened to me when I was in elementary school and in a couple of sessions I didn't have any discomfort with my breasts being touched at all anymore. It's a year later, and it still is completely gone.
Cynthia is so great to talk to that I wanted to stay and talk to her about whatever was hard in my life, but really the rest of my life is fine so I stiopped seeing her but I would go back in a red hot minute if I ever had something bothering me again.

I'm a client of Cynthia's and I just wanted to let all of you who are considering therapy know that she is awesome! Nobody has ever understood me like she does. I always know she's not going to judge me no mater what I say. She's helped me so much! I used to hate myself, and now I'm startig to see myself the way Cynthia does. Its making me happier than I've ever been!

Hi,
I just wanted to write and tell you, that out of all the many many web-sites that I have "visited" to read about depression, I was absolutely amazed at how your list "How Blue Are You" rang true to me, more than anything else that I have read.The other lists are always so general and generic, that I have always felt like no one really understands what I am feeling.

I just had to post this because I suffered with severe jealousy for many, many years. I just completed the EMDR series with Cynthia, and my jealousy issue has reduced significantly!!!!!
I know how painful and self-defeating being an overly jealous person can be, and this is what caused me to seek therapy with Cynthia in the first place.
Please do yourself a favor and try it, if you are suffering. I am living proof that EMDR will help you.
Note: This is not a paid endorsement - I just felt so strongly about how I have been helped that I wanted to share it with others.

Although I am sad and discouraged to be feeling that way, it made me feel less alone, knowing that other people must also feel these same ways otherwise you wouldn't have been able to come up with such a sensitive and accurate list.
I look forward to reading more of your work.
In recovery and with hope,
Sally on May 2, 2006
I think you're great! Thank you for the service you offer!
