I have only been working with Assata for a short time but I already feel that she is the perfect fit. She is extremely validating and responsive. It’s like talking to the person you should always go to for advice. She is a great listener and helps me to find ways to calm my anxiety through action. Feel really lucky to have found her.

I specifically requested a therapist of color, male or female, and she is knocking it out of the park. It’s super easy and comfortable speaking with Assata. She provides such great avenues of how to go about things differently that while a bit scary, have been effective when implemented. I’m really happy I found her at the time I did. 5 stars across the board. I appreciate you Assata!

I first started speaking with Assata when I was going through a divorce. She is now helping me throughout my day to day post-divorce and I feel like I need her in my life now to stay sane. She is absolutely wonderful. I appreciate her expertise. I always recommend Better Help because of her. Assata is great.
