Written on Apr 23, 2024 after therapy with Judith for 10 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and compassion fatigue
Adding Judith in to my life has done wonders for me. She engages in a way that guides me, but also allows me to grow on my own. I was a mental mess before I started therapy, and I have done an about face and feel extra confident in myself since. I have, and would recommend Judith and Betterhelp to anyone who could use the help.

Judith is a great therapist. She listened to what I was saying and helped me deal with issues that have been plaguing my whole life. Each session she'd come back with more information for me on things to try or what to look up to help with my issues. She went above and beyond what I expected. Truly a great person.
