Written on May 28, 2026 after therapy with Dawn for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, and career difficulties
Dawn Thompson is the first therapist I have ever felt comfortable truly opening up to, and the only one I’ve ever stuck with. She helped me through the loss of my mother and the complicated anger that came with it, never once making me feel judged for anything I brought into the session. She has supported me through some of the hardest decisions of my life, and her steadiness made those decisions feel manageable. She remembers everything, every detail of our past conversations, so I never have to start over or re-explain myself. She is consistently kind and encouraging, and she has genuinely helped me. She is the first therapist I have found truly valuable, and I recommend her without hesitation.

I so appreciate Dawn’s approach. She knows and understands my goals, gives me helpful articles and surveys that don’t take a ton of time. She is so super easy to talk to. She gives me bite size goals each week that are hard but achievable and really move the needle on progress towards my goals.

Written on Apr 16, 2025 after therapy with Dawn for 7 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and family conflicts
I went through at least 2 other therapists before Dawn and it wasn't until her that I truly felt I found the right fit. I came to her for family relationships and compassion fatigue. My needs and goal was met in a timely manner thanks to her and her professionalism. I am so grateful that God brought her to me so I could heal. Dawn was attentive and didn't make excuses for those who hurt me. She was very patient with me and helped to stay on target as I'm easily side tracked. I highly recommend her.

My therapist Dawn Thompson listened to me and gave me great advice. My therapist also checked on me to see how I was doing and that meant a lot to me. I was comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Dawn and I usually do not talk with anyone other than GOD and my daughters about my personal business. I appreciate my principal for advising me to talk with someone and Better Help was a great choice. Thanks Dawn for everything.

Dawn is absolutely fantastic and has been a gem during this confusing and dark time in my life. I appreciate how empathetic she is and how helpful she is in helping me to realize what I’m feeling and to help organize my thoughts. I also really appreciate that she also makes room to just listen to everything going on that I need to let out. I’m very grateful that I was paired with her for my first experience with BetterHelp.
