I started therapy with the mindset that it is a stigma only for those who are at their absolute line of defense or are emotionally weak; I was hesitant at first, but as time went on, Alesha's expertise and care have helped me progress from my day-to-day life to taking the first steps toward my long term goals in life.

Alesha has had such a positive impact on my life. Every time I speak to her I can feel she genuinely cares and wants the best for me. She always takes the time to really listen to me and offer a gentle wisdom that is not only comforting but also reveals my blind spots to myself. Once I become aware of those blind spots, we can work to shift the narratives and tell myself a new story. Alesha has so many tools in her toolkit and is always eager to share those with me. She always leaves me with a task and focus for the week which helps me stay on track with the goals I’ve set in place. I genuinely believe therapy with Alesha has been and will continue to be a huge asset in my life. The value I’ve received is priceless and I am so grateful to be connected with such a great therapist and overall wonderful person. Thank you so much Alesha! You are the best!

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of Alesha. Within the first ten minutes of our first session, she was putting me to work. I practiced the tools she provided, and it has made such a huge difference in my life both professionally and personally. Now as I look back at my initial therapy goals, it is absolutely incredible to me that I am in the place I am now in managing my anxiety and stress (but she would tell me that she’s not surprised at all). To the moon and on, I cannot thank Alesha enough for the guidance she has given me.

Catch it. Check it. Change it.

Written on Sep 30, 2022 after therapy with Alesha for 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self esteem

Alesha has been wonderful and I can't say enough about my experience with her as my therapist. I know that I could not have been so successful in my path to better mental health over the last 8 months if it had not been for her intuitive insight. She always knew exactly what exercises and practices I needed to work on. Even when I wasn't sure how some may help, I soon realized how I had grown doing them. Alesha is a true professional and I had no trouble talking to her without feeling judged or any scrutiny. She always helped me navigate my feelings and how to deal with them properly. She was thorough, kind, friendly, and a great listener. She understood my feelings and even the path of my thoughts that caused me such grief while going through a harrowing experience. After that experience was over, she helped me quickly recover and grow from it; now I'm ready to move on to a new place, with a new spirit for a better tomorrow. Alesha has helped me turn a new page in my life, keeping it positive, peaceful, and grateful. I am very happy that I turned to Betterhelp for my needs, because I know Alesha was the right therapist for me. I just can't imagine being able to get through my hard time without her in my corner. She made it all easier and helped me to find meaning and growth from my experiences. I am absolutely grateful for this opportunity to be available to me in this platform, where I was the most comfortable at home in my own space. She is a valuable member of your team, don't ever lose her, because she is exactly what your company needs to be successful. This entire experience has been great for me. I did the homework, some journaling along the way which I also found therapeutic, and I also attended a few groupinars. Sometimes their subjects were helpful to me and some I just found to be interesting, but they gave me an outlet I felt was comforting and safe. I don't think that I could have gone to a therapist in the traditional setting and have gotten this far so soon. With the added practices and features, it all lent to a quicker recovery for me. Again, I am very grateful for this experience and I'm extremely grateful to Alesha for being there for me and guiding me through a very tough time in my life. She is a shining gem and truly passionate about her profession. Thank goodness I found Betterhelp and Alesha when I needed it most.
