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:)

Never believed I needed therapy until my GF suggested it to save our relationship. Trauma from childhood reared its ugly head into my life when I thought it was all behind me. It didn’t happen until I entered a long term relationship. Celeste has been great at listening and helping me cope with finding myself again. It will be a long road but so far I trust her in helping me.
