Written on May 14, 2023 after therapy with Genna for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Genna and I started off on the right foot. She was caring and listened to my issues while giving ne meaningful work to address outside of our meetings. It felt like she truly cared about my well-being, and I was happy to see what a few more months would bring. When we started getting into more sensitive parts of my past, We had some differences with our schedule. One week, Genna misunderstood my comments and was a no-show to one of our meetings and another week. I answered her too late and missed a slot. At this point, Jenna was all too quick to give up on our sessions. Meanwhile, my past was now on the center of my mind while I was dealing with an influx of new incoming problems, and having my therapist give up on me was not a great feeling. She did not want to continue our sessions which made me feel like she did not care about helping me improve overall . I have found myself really frustrated with this and tried to come up with better solution, I suggested what if we meet at the same time on a weekly basis or what else could I do in order to keep her as my therapist, but she had no interest in doing so. She even said there was no need to go back and forth and she had a waitlist. It made me feel like a number. My only complaint would be that it did not seem like her care was enduring but If your schedule is more open, and you are more willing to adapt to her you will be in a better position than I was. Like I said she is a great listener and will give you meaningful work if you are willing to put it in. I would only wish her and her clients luck in the future!

Genna came into my life at a time when I was in a lot of chaos. She patiently worked with me until I found some peace of mind and got me through an extremely difficult period. She's kind and professional. One of the best BetterHelp has to offer.

Genna gives me the support that I feel like I am lacking in life. I do not have many women that I can disclose everything with so, I feel very comfortable sharing with her. She gives me good advice and asks the right questions. She is great!

Written on Sep 17, 2020 after therapy with Genna for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and adhd
Genna has been an amazing therapist, and supported me to transform my life. I had worked with a few therapists before her and struggled to find a something that worked for me. Genna, kind, caring attitude combined with a straightforwardness, really supported me to help me reflect on parts of my life that needed to change, and I felt she was forward enough to address certain behaviors that I didn't really want to acknowledge myself. I have never worked with someone who was so easy to talk to, if your thinking about finding a counselor who's responsive, caring, and professional, Genna is #1. Thanks Genna for helping me to change my life!

Since I started therapy Genna has been so supportive. She has helped me work through so many issues. I wasn’t sure if I would like therapy but signing up and getting her as a therapist has made me so glad I did take the step. It was terrifying at first but she has continued to make me feel comfortable

Genna is kind, understanding and non-judgemental. She listens to my situation, helps me implement positive coping strategies, and helps me work through anything in life that's holding me back.

I think this format has been more helpful than any other format that I've tried. I like the ability to maintain a connection inbetween video calls. I use the messaging like a journal, it allows me to write what I'm feeling when I'm feeling it.

Genna is a great counsellor. She quickly understood my problems even though I came from an entirely different culture so I was worried if my BetterHelp counsellor will be able to get me or not, let alone give me therapy. But thankfully she has been so understanding that now I’m extremely comfortable sharing anything with her. She has some wonderful insights & makes me see my problems with another point of view which makes me so calm. She’s so disciplined, organized & so caring. I’m grateful to both Genna & BetterHelp!
