Testimonials

“Cindy has been more than a counselor to me. When we first met I was in 7th grade dealing with a move across states, and she welcomed me with open arms and kindness and understanding, never judging me and always trying to help me find ways to cope. She is such a amazing person with so much knowledge and kindness in her heart helping others heal in ways they never knew. You never made me feel dumb or small for any of my problems, no matter how small or big."

Natalia Sanchez-Student

"I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance Cindy provided when I was struggling in middle school. Her patience, compassion, and ability to truly listen helped me beyond words. She truly stuck it out even when I pushed her away and I will always appreciate that."

Faith Silvar - Student

"Cindy was an amazing counselor while I was in middle school. She was always someone there for me that I could lean on anytime. She helped me get through school during all the times I needed someone to just listen or give advice to me and help me cope through things. I appreciated Cindy so much for being the person for me to lean on when I needed it most!"

Rileigh Troncoso - Student

From my lens of a middle and high school administrator, I have witnessed Mrs. Soulliere in various counseling practices, and with each situation, she has conducted herself with professionalism, compassion, and with the best interest of her students as her core priority. She relates to the students on their level, and provides them with practical strategies to use in the classroom and with their peers. I highly recommend Mrs. Soulliere for any of your child’s academic needs.

Mrs. Kate Ault - Colleague and Dean of Students

"I will always be grateful and blessed that Ms. Cindy was a counselor and a part of my daughter's life all through her middle and high school years. There is no doubt in my mind that without that consistent, constant connection and support my daughter would have struggled far greater than she did. She always told me how she felt like she could talk to Ms. Cindy about anything and that she felt like she could completely trust her. As a mother I was grateful that she had someone she could turn to for support and guidance that I was comfortable with. If you are lucky enough to find Ms. Cindy you will truly be blessed with her support and passion for helping others!"
