Cynthia Moore is a dedicated mental health advocate with a career spanning over four decades, beginning with her work in domestic abuse support at The Catholic Women's Society in 1985. Certified by the Albert Ellis Institute and trained in the CRAFT Community Positive Reinforcement Approach, she specializes in evidence-based methods including REBT, CBT, and motivational interviewing.
As an empath, Cynthia creates a safe, nurturing environment for emotional healing. She helps clients identify and transform the unhelpful thought patterns that hinder their emotional well-being. Her approach is uniquely informed by her lived experience with addiction and as a trauma survivor. She meets every client with warm acceptance, understanding, and no judgement.
Cynthia’s extensive professional background includes serving as the SMART Recovery Regional Coordinator for Ontario from 2012 to 2025, where she launched the program in Toronto and facilitated over 850 support meetings. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to helping individuals reclaim their lives through genuine kindness, positive reinforcement, and a deep sense of community, ensuring that no one has to navigate their path for personal development alone.

Cynthia has a personal, innovative approach to mental health and addiction counseling. If you are ready to make a change, she invites you to a complimentary 30-minute virtual consultation.
