Written on Nov 25, 2023 after therapy with Darla for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Having gone through one of the most difficult periods of my life, losing my husband and becoming a caretaker for my mother, I joined BetterHelp to deal with grief and guilt. Darla guided me to such a better place, and I looked forward to each session. I still use gratitude journaling every day to keep track of all great and good things that are most definitely present in my life. I'm truly grateful for her help.

I LOVE Darla! She’s my 3rd ever therapist & 2nd from BetterHelp & SHE IS THE ONE! She listened to me so intentionally the first session that she knew exactly how to approach me in our sessions! She makes me feel seen & heard & I know she truly cares about me. It doesn’t feel like she is just doing her job, I feel cared for which is exactly what I wanted in my therapist. She is awesome & I would recommend her to anyone!

Darla will listen to all your concerns and guide you through each step to reach the other side. She gave me the resources I needed in my situation. I felt heard when speaking with her. Thanks Darla :)
