Ingrid does a great job, not only listening but in reciprocating my concerns but also takes time in trying understanding them if unsure or my explanation is not quite clear. I feel like the communication between us so far, has provided a solid path towards achieving my mental health goals.

She is an amazing therapist! She listens to what I’m saying and makes a true and conscious effort to help me be a better me. She is actually the reason I will be continuing my BetterHelp membership. Just having support like that is so beneficial especially to people who feel like they don’t know what to do or where to go next.
