I am new to therapy, and Donna has made the experience so welcoming and positive. She is kind, listens and responds with great feedback and suggestions, and I always feel a sense of relief and lightness after talking with her. Would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking to get into therapy, or if you’re new to Betterhelp and trying to find the right person for you!
