She is amazing. Listens to what I have to say and she always lets me know that I’m doing fine. After a couple sessions I can already tell that I’m seeing things a little differently and I appreciate everything she does

Written on Dec 08, 2021 after therapy with Chelsea for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and adhd
Chelsea has been an incredible source of advice - listening and understanding my feelings and helping me come to understand them as well. She has never pushed when I was hesitant to talk about something. She is happy to text back, when I have trouble discussing things on video chat. She often responds quicker than I would ever expect and outside of normal business times. Chelsea has been one of the greatest reasons that I have been able to grow and understand myself. I would absolutely recommend her, and have often recommended BetterHelp in general.

Chelsea has done amazing things for me. She has met me where I am at. Walked me through things I didn’t know where bothering me. Helping me with things that I thought would be with me for life. She also listens and really hears what you are saying. She pushes when appropriate and will take a step back when you need to. I have gone through a lot of counselors but Chelsea is the best by far. Thank you for all the help that you have done and will do in the future.

Thus far, Chelsea has been prompt and supportive in helping me find new ways to think about my daily grind. I appreciate the time we can talk about some of the issues I’m dealing with and her feedback has been mostly helpful. We have yet to speak over the phone or through FaceTime, not that i have asked to or anything, so I can’t speak for how we get along, but I do enjoy knowing that she cares enough to send me a message every few days and see how I’m doing. It Is genuinely a positive in my week.

I’m incredible thankful for all she does!

Chelsea’s counseling style is warm and honest. I feel validated and at the same time feel I’m being given straight-forward feed back. She responds quickly and I feel supported. She allows the time needed for progress to take place while still gently pushing me to challenge my lines of thinking.

Chelsea has been amazing. The last counselor I had through better help I wasn't completely happy with. I'm so glad i said something and switched over. It's been a completely different experience. She listens and pays attention to the things I'm saying. Gives me opportunities to better myself and I don't feel any pressure to get things done when im not in the mood. I can really tell she's there to support me in the ways I need. I'm very happy with her.
