These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julia Smith. 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.
Julia is amazing and has been a huge part of my mental health journey. She is patient, kind, non-judgemental and will listen to you with an open mind on anything that is bothering you, even if it's not what you intended to talk about during that session. Our sessions made me feel supported and like I had someone on my side. Thank you Julia and Better Help for helping me.

Julia is the best listener I've met.
Julia is awesome. She is a very empathetic listener and she offers suggestions that are thoughtful after carefully considering everything we discuss.
I’ve been working with Julia for about three quarters of a year now and she’s helped me get through so much. I’m endlessly thankful for her expertise and truly kind and empathetic soul. She reminds me of what’s important and helps me stay on track in the most gentle and supporting way. I love that I am able to continue my therapy sessions with her and the progress I’ve made in the last few months thanks to her is definitely more than I’ve been able to achieve in my most recent inpatient treatment about a year ago :) thank you for everything Julia!!!
Julia is a wonderful therapist, I feel very lucky to be working with her.
Julia is wonderful
Julia is an amazing, experienced and insightful therapist. I concur with other reviews of her saying that she is a great listener. She is excellent at helping one make sense of things, and provides very helpful tools and mental exercises to improve. She is also good at providing guidance to the conversation, which is very good if you're like me and talk a lot. I greatly appreciate my time with her.
Julia sincerely cares for my mental health and has made such a difference for me in just three weeks! I wish I had found her sooner!
Julia is warm and understanding and truly has my best interests at heart. She has helped me find the clarity and strength to make a big life decision. Julia is both compassionate and knowledgeable. I look forward to our sessions each week.

Thank you Julia, you're the best!
I have so thoroughly enjoyed my time with Julia. She is incredibly thoughtful and attentive with my care needs. She asks questions that’s truly ask me to look inwards and propel me towards change. I always look forward to our meetings and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for help or guidance in any aspect of their life.
She has been so wonderful and helpful. She has hit the mark on the head from only a few things I have said and is trying to help me untangle and sort myself. She is kind and patient with me and is always ready with kind words for me when I doubt myself
Julia is a god send. I have done personal and couples sessions with Julia and I am so glad we chose her. She is down to earth and really sees through and gets to the root cause of the issues.
I look forward to my weekly sessions with Julia and always feel better after our time together. She is a wonderful listener and offers valuable insight and tools for me to put into action in between visits. Would absolutely recommend her to others, and in fact already have :)
She is awsome and I feel like I am making big progress in a short period of time
Julia seemed to be able to have immediate understanding and recognition of my problems and issues In such a short time and gave some very sound advise - I had instant trust in Julia and knew she would be able to help me in a very profound way - I am very grateful
Julia has been wonderful so far. Really enjoying speaking to her and finding her support really helpful.
Julie is a very humble therapist. She listens to what I am saying and she makes sense of it and helps me to see things in a different perspective.
I have often left sessions with Julia really happy and open minded and situations I felt were tough to deal with.
If you get to speak with her, you will not regret it!
