These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erika Brasington. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
You’ve been so helpful in helping me get to know myself better and that’s kind of my goal is to just be able to have some self knowledge and continue to learn so that I can make better decisions for myself as I go through life. The more we talk the more self-aware I become and realize how my decisions affect me and also how they’re affecting others and that I am not the only one that goes through these situations. Also I would like to eventually have in person sessions I love just being able to text you when I am in a mood or when I’m going through something and just need someone that can logically work thought it with me. I really appreciate you

I immediately felt comfortable with Erika and she has been a wonderful support system for me. Never have I felt so at ease with a mental healthcare provider.

I’ve only had three sessions with Erika, but she’s been amazing! She has given me many coping strategies and helped me recognize what’s causing much of my anxiety. She’s been helping me figure out how to get over it, not just through it.
