“My son came to see Cynthia’s space as a true safe zone and genuinely looked forward to his sessions.”
Cynthia consistently prepared us for upcoming sessions and followed up with clear summaries outlining what had been discussed and possible next steps. One aspect we deeply appreciated was her respect for my son’s confidentiality. She shared appropriate summaries with us while ensuring he felt respected and safe within the therapeutic process.
As a parent, this helped me gain new perspectives on how to support my child while allowing him to develop trust in the therapeutic space.

“There have been many positive changes since my daughter started attending the sessions.”
My daughter was visibly happy and even laughed loudly during one of her sessions, which was wonderful to see. Since starting therapy, she has shown initiative to play with her sister and their conversations have become more meaningful and connected to the activities they share.
She has also begun showing interest in other children’s activities and is now able to remain engaged in group settings, whereas she previously preferred to play alone. We have also noticed that she expresses herself more confidently at home.

“Cynthia demonstrates empathic listening and an ability to engage with her clients through building rapport and trust.”
She is an accomplished practitioner and well-rounded individual who has the ability to self–reflect, understand her own strengths and difficulties, and act upon these to improve both personally and professionally. Cynthia shares her knowledge and professional experience, generously, within the supervisory process and with others in her group. She demonstrates an eagerness for continued development and self–actualization in her personal life.She instils hope and encouragement in parents and caregivers while supporting the child’s therapeutic goals.

“Cynthia is not only technically skilled but also deeply compassionate and committed to supporting others through creative expression.“
During her internship, Cynthia provided individual art therapy sessions for our residents, demonstrating a strong ability to establish rapport and adapt therapeutic techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. She also actively participated in case discussions and clinical group supervision, offering thoughtful insights that reflected her growing understanding of the intersection between art and trauma.
I am confident she will make significant contributions as an art therapist and excel in any professional setting she chooses.
