Dr. Gladyness has been so helpful to me in my mental health journey. She is not afraid to call me out when I’m in the wrong and really does a great job making sure doing the work. She has been so great recommending group sessions for me to find tools to use to really improve my boundaries and self esteem. It’s been so amazing and so important having a black woman as my therapist. Truly has made this whole experience worthwhile and something that I’ll continue for some time.

I have started around three weeks ago therapy with Cynthia and she is literally amazing. Even my first session with her was eye opening, she helped me to know myself more and to be able to end a very toxic relationship I was going through just after three sessions with her! I would highly highly recommend her! :)

Cynthia is a wonderful person to work with in therapy. She takes the time to understand whatever your issue is and get to know you as a person. The help she provides is a Godsend. Speaking of God, I asked Betterhelp to be connected with a therapist with that background, and connecting with her on that level was an incredible help to me.
Cynthia is direct and blunt and I needed that. Without her, I'm, not sure where I would be right now in my healing journey. I do know that with her help, the light is bright and I learned many things about myself to make sure this next phase of my life is even better than the previous.
Thank you Cynthia!

Talking to Cynthia is like taking to a friend/ confidant that I’ve had for years. I am so comfortable talking to her and I have the upmost respect for expert advice. I’ve suggested her to family and friends. She has helped me through a difficult divorce and issues with my daughter! She is the best!

For the brief time I was tended to by Mrs. Gladyness, she addressed the concerns I shared, provided resources to put me on track towards wellness and checked back in with me to give me assurance on her willingness to help.
For my 1st attempt at receiving assistance, my confidence that I was referred to an individual who was truly concerned with me as a person puts me at ease when seeking help in the future

Words can’t express my deepest gratitude and admiration.

Cynthia has been an amazing help to me! When I began counseling with her, I was in such a dark place, I could hardly talk without crying. After months of talking with her and listening to her insights, I felt empowered, clear-headed, hopeful and my negative self-talk was replaced with a kind and loving inner dialogue. I am so thankful for Cynthia, and the healthier path she helped me get back on!!!
