I couldn't have asked for a better person that understands my thoughts and helps me process everything. Trell is very passionate and kind at what she does and listens to understands. She provides techniques to help coax through the roughest times. Glad to have met her!!

I was skeptical about using BetterHelp at first because my previous experience with therapy had been in-person. Still, I am grateful a close friend nudged me into giving it a go.
Trell has been a lifesaver. She has helped me grieve the unexpected loss of my father, and unpack family trauma and navigate unhealthy relationships.
I feel seen, heard, and understood for the first time in a long time.
So much so, I recommend BetterHelp to basically anyone who comes to me with a problem.
