Ms. Gums is an excellent therapist. She works as a companion, guide, and councilor in our sessions. She listens closely to me and then draws out deeper meaning and understanding. She is insightful and empathetic and has a way of speaking about serious and needful things in a careful and straight forward manner. She has a great sense of humor which helped me feel comfortable sharing my story with her. I feel fortunate to find a therapist who cares and above and Ms. Gums cares.

Ebony is so great at getting me to be self aware and helps me understand the layers of my past trauma. Since being in therapy I have a consistent self care schedule and I look forward to the self work that Ebony recommends. After waiting for years on waitlists and being swept under the rug by Tricare insurance for therapy, I’m so grateful for Better Help and. Ebony.

Ebony is fantastic. She is calm, patient, and nonjudgmental. She has helped me to validate my inner feelings and worries while also suggesting helpful ways to approach and confront those feelings. Ebony was never once pushy or condescending. I appreciated how intently she listened to me and how she assessed my concerns from an objective point of view. Ebony's insight and help made me feel like I want to be my biggest cheerleader, and for that, I am grateful. Ebony has also always welcomed feedback about our sessions--whether it was positive or negative. And, while I never had anything negative to report, her openness and willingness to receive such feedback only increased my trust in her expertise and support.

Ebony demonstrates exceptional punctuality, patience, and respect, which she consistently maintains throughout our sessions. She actively engages in my personal development, displaying confidence in my ability to make decisions, providing unwavering support in my healing journey, and offering valuable resources to address my trauma. In her presence, I am given the freedom to experience my emotions without any judgment or restrictions. The environment she creates is profoundly comforting, relieving, and most importantly, safe.

Ebony Gums was an amazing therapist. We connected right off the bat and I never once thought about changing therapists. She gave me a comfortable space to open up and talk about my hardships.

Ebony helped me through a very difficult experience at work. We were able to meet for several video sessions to discuss and Ebony helped me reconnect with my priorities and values, which helped me frame up an appropriate way to deal with my work situation. I really appreciated Ebony’s ability to listen and to provide helpful insight as to what she was hearing me share, and possible ways to address. Thank you, Ebony.

Ebony was great at listening and allowing me time to feel and sit with my emotions . She assisted me in coming to my own terms and allowed space for me to draw my own conclusions to realize habits that needed to be changed. She offered great feedback and created an open space for honesty and was very mindful of the speed in which I wanted to take on specific topics .
