Cynthia was my supervisor for my LCSW. It's a two year long process and then you have to take this long, scary test at the end. I only say scary because several people had failed it, sometimes multiple times, and said it was really, really hard. Cynthia helped me through multiple practice tests and was so encouraging throughout the process. Cynthia made me believe in myself and because of her I passed the test on the first try! Cynthia is not only a great teacher, but she constantly reminded me of why I was in this profession in the first place. As a social worker, we don't just have talk therapy with a client - we are mandated to see things from a social justice perspective. In going over different scenarios to help me be a better practitioner, it was clear that I had made the right choice in a supervisor. Cynthia uses compassion, knowledge from decades of doing this work, and humor to help those she is supervising. I know she uses the same qualities to help her clients and that is what makes her truly special. read more
