Heather is just fantastic--not only kind and thoughtful with her questions and responses, but always at the ready with tools to help me out with any situation I throw at her. It is so wonderful to be able to discuss all of my issues with a non-judgmental, trustworthy person.

Heather has been very helpful during this odd time in my life. Not being able to go out and actually see a therapist I was nervous to try BetterHelp. But Heather listens to my needs, she challenges me to see thing in a different way and I really do love being challenged and making sure I am seeing things from all prospective. I appreciate her response time and always being ready to help and mold me into become a better version of myself.

Heather was a joy to work with. We began our sessions during the Coronavirus outbreak, and she was very empathetic listener. Heather offered sound suggestions for mitigating stress and managing relationships with family members. But best of all, speaking with her felt like speaking with an old friend. I felt comfortable expressing myself yet also received an appropriate amount of coaching, i.e. my patterns of negative thought were challenged by Heather in a supportive manner. Finally, I had no difficulty scheduling with her, and she was incredibly communicative throughout our time together. Thanks so much, Heather!
