Heather Butler nailed it. I came into therapy because of life transition (retirement) and processing the associated changes. During our sessions, my mother passed away and so I was able to share some of the emotions that brought up as well.
I've had 4 therapists over my life. Heather has a down to earth relatability that I will always appreciate.

Heather listens and offers outstanding insights. She asks tough questions that we may not want to confront, but that we should. She sends immediate insights from her note-taking after the session and they always always help.

Heather is like having a friend…whose also highly qualified to give me actual advice! I feel like talking with her is just a weekly check in, doesn’t have to be super serious but also can be if I need it. She’s super down to earth, which I love so much more than a super clinical & clique “How does that make you feel?” type person.

Heather Butler has really helped me talk through situations I would never tell anyone.

Written by E.M. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather
In just a couple weeks of working together, Heather has consistently provided warm reassurance, thoughtful insights, and helpful worksheets to help me move forward and grow! I deeply appreciate Heather’s commitment to working through issues and gaining understanding of my situation. It feels great to be supported in this way for the first time!

The only therapist I’ve ever had that i actually like and connect with
Written by J.O. after 4 months of therapy with Heather
Heather is literally the best. The one thing I look forward to every week is meeting with her. It’s so much better than trying to rely on a friend or family for support with challenges. She provides objective feedback and is very caring.
Written by I.N. after 3 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather is an awesome therapist!! She listens warmly and offers insightful perspective. She is flexible and comfortable in many different situations. I don't feel like I need to take care of her, she can take care of me.
She is incredibly thoughtful via chat messages and I've gotten a lot out of our in person sessions and also messaging back and forth. During video calls, she is totally focused on me and what we're talking about, including taking detailed notes that she shares after the meeting. I love the way she operates and the energy she brings to each session. <3

Thank you for your support in the past several months. I have grown a lot in different ways by analyzing my behavior and perception as it relates to my interactions with family, friends, and my significant other. Always grateful for your support and expertise!
Written by M.A. after 1 month of therapy with Heather
Heather is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She is kind, patient, and so easy to talk to. She doesn’t make therapy feel like “work” but an adventure of self discovery.

Heather makes it very easy to open up.

Written by D.Y. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather has been working with me for 3 weeks and I can see a difference already.
The work I’m doing is ultimately on me.
She provides me worksheets and challenges me to make sure I’m staying on track with the answers.
She makes sure that I’m ok and that the ability to text during the week has helped me tremendously.
This is a great service and I’ve suggested to people that they look into this.

This has been such a positive experience so far that I have already recommended it. I was very pleased with the in-depth background information gathering that began the process. I found being able to message my responses to be more effective than an in-person interview because I could sit and think through my responses and be sure to share everything that mattered. Heather was helpful 2 weeks before my actual appointment with her took place. The act of sharing history brought up some feelings and the day to day things that prompted me to seek counseling in the first place were present and Heather was available and responsive through messaging. I never waited long for her to answer and she gave me great feedback along with "homework" that got me through the moment and started a toolbox of things I could draw from.
This forum and Heather are working for me and I've just barely begun.

Heather is very smart, insightful, and easy to talk to. I trust her. I feel like I won the lottery with her!

Heather is a lovely counselor to work with, and always leaves me with valuable insight and exercises that have made noticeable impact on my mental health. She is very compassionate, understanding, and I have never felt like she was judging me, which cannot always be said for counselors. She deserves a bonus ;)

Heather has been supportive in helping me work through a big life transition.

Heather is amazing. She’s patient, nonjudgmental, understanding and always available. She guides you along without imposing herself or her personal opinions on you.
Written by L.O. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather Butler is focused on the problems I have. I wrote to her about a specific problem and she developed a treatment plan for it. She responded very quickly to my email. I am bipolar: and Heather specializes in my disorder and also has extensive training in trauma, which I also have. I would recommend her to anyone. She is kind, thoughtful and excels in her field.
Written by K.R. after 2 months of therapy with Heather
Heather is such a wonderful person. When I joined BetterHelp, my only fear was that the therapists would be like robots, but Heather is so personable and kind. She knows how to offer advice without being rude, and she isn't dismissive with my feelings like past therapists I've had. I am definitely receiving the help I need during my therapy sessions with Heather!
Written by T.R. after 2 months of therapy with Heather

We went into couples counseling not knowing what to expect but hoping for the best. While it took a few sessions to get acclimated to the experience we soon found that Heather made us feel at ease about the process and helped us dive into some of the things we were struggling with. Over several weeks my boyfriend and I have been invested in this process and following Heather's advice as well as reflecting on her insights. We are communicating so much better and have been able to avoid frequent, trivial arguments and spend more time connecting, listening, and working through conflicts. I highly recommend Heather to other couples who may be working through similar issues.

I am so thankful for Heather's insight, and guidance through this transition. She has helped me gain my strength back and to have the courage to make positive decisions and changes for myself.
Written by J.E. after 3 weeks of therapy with Heather
I didn't think that therapy would work for me, especially in an online medium where you essentially get therapy through email. However, Heather helped me tremendously and I never thought that was possible from just talking with someone.
Written by V.A. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather

Heather’s expertise showed through from our first conversation. Her willingness to partner with me in trouble-shooting issues we tackle together is so appreciated. Her toolbox is enormous and I feel very comfortable working with her. On this journey through life, I value her fresh perspective!
Written by N.I. after 3 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather was amazing! She really took a lot of understanding from what i say and broke it down for me. I couldn't thank her enough. She did a great job helping me. I would recommend her to those who are struggling. Often times you can tell when they don't truly care about your problems but i sense she has a care for her patients. Keep her

I haven’t been seeing Heather very long but I love her already. She is responsive, she listens and gives great advice. I would highly recommend her!
Written by K.I. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather
I'm finding Heather very helpful. I'm pleasantly surprised; I was little dubious that a website could take the place of researching my own therapist and having face to face therapy, but Heather is great. I really feel she gets me and my situation. She's struck a perfect balance between support, gentle nudge, and good humor.
Written by D.A. after 3 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather is just fantastic--not only kind and thoughtful with her questions and responses, but always at the ready with tools to help me out with any situation I throw at her. It is so wonderful to be able to discuss all of my issues with a non-judgmental, trustworthy person.
Written by S.A. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather
Heather has been very helpful during this odd time in my life. Not being able to go out and actually see a therapist I was nervous to try BetterHelp. But Heather listens to my needs, she challenges me to see thing in a different way and I really do love being challenged and making sure I am seeing things from all prospective. I appreciate her response time and always being ready to help and mold me into become a better version of myself.
Written by B.R. after 2 weeks of therapy with Heather

I enjoy working wit her.

Heather was a joy to work with. We began our sessions during the Coronavirus outbreak, and she was very empathetic listener. Heather offered sound suggestions for mitigating stress and managing relationships with family members. But best of all, speaking with her felt like speaking with an old friend. I felt comfortable expressing myself yet also received an appropriate amount of coaching, i.e. my patterns of negative thought were challenged by Heather in a supportive manner. Finally, I had no difficulty scheduling with her, and she was incredibly communicative throughout our time together. Thanks so much, Heather!
