I love my sessions with Clarence! He's very personable, funny, know hows to share a laugh but also reel it in when its time to dig deep. I have a tendency to ramble so I greatly appreciate his ability to listen and process the information I share with him. I'm new to therapy and Clarence is my first therapist, it means alot that he goes above and beyond to make sure I'm supported and our sessions are a safe space to do inner work. I've enjoyed my experience since joining BetterHelp and working with Clarence, would 100% recommend to those seeking therapy

Clarence is very attentive and caring. Every session I left renewed and ready to tackle my week and my challenges. I feel much better mentally after having had sessions with Clarence. I recommend him.

I appreciate very much that he meets me where I am, doesn’t rush, and is very kind and flexible and understanding. It really helps a lot not feeling that added pressure that most therapists give
