Cynthia Poole, PsyD

“I am 32 years old and have finally come to terms with how truly harmful my experience with Cynthia was. I began seeing her at age 11 after experiencing various forms of abuse and neglect, a deeply vulnerable time when I needed a safe adult in my corner. Instead, she blindly sided with my parents and became yet another adult who reinforced the idea that my trauma was my fault. For a child already struggling to make sense of abuse, that kind of validation from a supposed professional is deeply damaging and the effects lasted for years. I cannot in good conscience stay silent while she continues to work with children. If you are a parent considering this counselor for your child, please look elsewhere. Children deserve someone who will actually listen to them.”

“Doctor Poole has been a true blessing to my family in our time of need and we soon learned how popular she truly is and that requires a certain type of professional person who can get down with the children's soul and connect with them like none other which doesnt come as easy to find these days. She is among the best in her field, so much good is to be said about her that there is actually a list of prospective clients patiently waiting for the next spot to open up!”

“She helps me a lot”
