Ellen has been great. I was really nervous and usure about going to therapy, but Ellen has made every appointment feel comfortable.

I absolutely love my therapist.
When speaking to her it feels like I’m talking to a trusted friend who is gently guiding me to ask and answer the questions that will help bering more clarity of who I am, or who I want to be into my life. After the very first visit I was wondering why I had waited so long to start working more deeply on myself. That has a lot to do with how amazing of a therapist she is.

At first, I was unsure of going through Betterhelp. Now, I don't know what I ever did without Ellen. She has me engaged in my therapy which is something I was lacking with my previous therapists. I highly recommend Betterhelp!!!
