I was unsure about using betterhelp but after being connected with my therapist, I feel very positive about my decision. She is an attentive listener, kind, caring, and overall has helped me tremendously. I'd recommend her to anyone who needed help. I appreciate her helping me become a stronger individual and taking the time to actively listen. I hope she knows how much she helps her patient's and how she is helping us get the strength and tools needed to change our lives for the better. Thank you:)
