These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Janie Lacy. 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.
I have and am very fortunate to have Dr. Janie Lacy agree to be my therapist. I have found right from the beginning that not only is her approach very professional, but caring. Her communication approach allows me the freedom to share my concerns and my struggles with acceptance and without judgement. Not only does she listen to me ,she acknowledges constructively to my concerns and challenges me to examine with her some possibilities that I may implement to change a situation or to better understand it . She assists through comments and questions, which always permits me to not only review my own thinking and why, but to how at this moment perhaps change my belief in a given situation. To see it from a different perspective, a different angle. Opening avenues of thinking I didn't think I was capable of doing. She challenges me into acknowledging who I am and becoming a better me. She walks through my "deep valleys" of uncertainty with me and always leaves decisions up to me with her support and expertise. She hears when I am hurting and challenged with too much of life and hurting relationships and together by talking helps me get grounded.
She is always on time, with a very cheerful greeting and at nearing the end of each session, together review what has been discussed and what goals , whether they be one or none be accomplished until next time.
Knowing that she is there is a life line. A life line that keeps me going forward even though times can be hard.
I am so thankful for Dr. Lacy for within our discussions, by her support and knowledge, reminds me to look for windows of hope, of things getting better, that she is there willing to listen .
Again I am very thankful that she is my therapist and I would highly recommend Betterhelp to others. I can not say thank you enough.
