These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Anese Adams Collier. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is very respectful, patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Anese is absolutely amazing. I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for therapy. Anese started our session by wanting to know about me, and reviewing what I typed out about myself. She listened. I know this is her job, but something about the way she is, was what I needed in that exact moment. Anese is there for you while you are doing the work to better yourself. Anese taught me that life really can be simple if we just slow down, go back to the basics of what we were taught as a child, and just be. A simple change in my daily routine has changed my entire world for the better. A basic daily task, that is so simple, changed so much. Who knew..... I am able to slow down and see so much more now than before. Anese never made me feel like my feelings didn't matter, no matter how crazy they seemed in the moment of my need. She knows my name, knows my issues, knows and believes that I can be whatever I want and need to be. You have to believe that you can do that as well, put in the work that is needed to better yourself, and you can do it. I cannot thank Anese enough for everything she has taught me on how to be the best person I know I can be,

Very patient and understanding. Feels like I am speaking with a loving family member. Non judgmental. The best I could ask for!

I literally had to look up how to write a review on Better Help because I'm not very good with tech stuff but was determined to leave Anese a review. Asking for help is NOT easy, and GETTING help isn't always accessible, and getting quick and TIMELY support is nearly impossible in general.. So i stopped trying. BUT working with Anese made me realize that it truly is about just finding the right therapist. She has been very timely and patient in helping me process and deepen my understanding of myself and things I'm going through. I've tried for years to look for help and within the first session Anese helped me process a lifetime of things and I realized I found THE ONE. So yeah, if you're tired od looking, go with Anese.
