I learned a lot from Ann and she helped me through some difficult things. I will use the tools she reached me always. One thing I wish Better Help would offer is the option to purchase single sessions.

Ann is phenomenal. I feel completely at ease with her and her approach to our sessions. I have tried therapy before and never found one that I really clicked with, but Ann is totally different. I don't feel uncomfortable talking about my faith, my issues, or my struggles.
