James Dion is such a tremendous asset to Better Help! He is, by far, the best therapist I've ever had at Betterhelp.com! He listens to me and relate to each other in such a therapeutic and healing manner! But especially as a Christian man, with Christian issues, I have found that James offers me wonderful insights into my faith that illuminate concerns that I've had that help to remind me of the love and constant faithfulness of the God I serve! The Lord Jesus Christ! I truly enjoy and look forward to my conversations with James! He's a truly excellent therapist and I mean that!

I am fortunate to have been matched with James. I was looking for an experienced (I mean having life experience and reflected and grown from it) and spiritually aligned counselor. James is all that. He listens carefully, reflects on what I am saying with care and concern, and gives helpful feedback and suggestions. He is willing to share some of himself so we can connect on a truly authentic level. This was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed to grow as a person myself. I am not sure yet where life's path will lead me, but I am confident that James and I can figure it out together over time. The struggle/obstacle is the way. And looking up to God/Jesus as a guiding light will help us to use our struggles and suffering for the good of us, our loved ones and maybe even the world at large. "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:10 . Amen.
