Kind Words



Are you wondering what your colleagues think about their experiences with Cynthia Good? Below is a sampling of feedback shared by consultees, trainees, consultants, trainers, and educators.



GAME CHANGER





“It was really helpful to integrate polyvagal and parts work when working with complex trauma. I would totally recommend her because it was a game changer for me. Cynthia helped me find resources that are essential for working with complex trauma. It felt safe to bring up questions and her answers were always clear and helpful. I feel more comfortable doing EMDR.”


~ 2025 Cohort-Based EMDR Group Consultee




KNOWLEDGEABLE





"Cynthia is extremely knowledgeable in many areas, I am grateful to have had this experience with her. I know that I can come to Cynthia with any question and she has some insight into it herself, or resources for me to look into. I had a fantastic experience with this cohort and would consider working with Cynthia again for consultation related to specific cases that I have, or as required for EMDR certification and beyond."
