These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Danae Knowles. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Danae is a great therapist and offers great support. She has a way of explaining things in simple to understand ways that I’ve never heard before that just makes so much sense to me. I feel like we click very well and she isn’t afraid to say what I need to hear even if it’s not necessarily what I wanna hear. I love how vulnerable she can be about her own experiences which really helps allow me to open up even more making it easier to work on the hard stuff.

Danae is an amazing and insightful therapist! I feel so accepted - especially as a witch and as someone with diverse religious + spiritual practices. Danae offers effective, comforting, and creative therapeutic techniques that have greatly helped me with perspective shifts during really difficult ruts. I 10/10 recommend Danae!

Danae is one of the best therapists I have met. They understand and address hidden concerns and seems to know exactly what to say at all times. They might be a psychic, but honestly, it’s what I need in life. I appreciate all of the validation Danae gives me and they make me feel understood like no one else. 100/10

Written on Aug 24, 2023 after therapy with Danae for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and adhd

I’ve found the experience of finding the right therapist for me to be extremely difficult. But when I met Danae, I felt comfortable quickly. That is not a small accomplishment in my book since I have had walls up to therapy for a long time. They make me feel like I’m not being pushed to fit a worksheet, that my progress is going to be at my pace. Plus, it often feels more like I’m talking to a friend than a therapist, which I wasnt expecting. They’ve truly made the ideal setup for me.

They showcase their expertise and their empathy in a great manner in therapy, which leads to productive sessions in which you will not only feel validated and understood with the support that they give, but you will gain the power to understand and help yourself with their guidance. Would totally recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10.
