I’ve been working with Mrs. Elliott since the beginning of the year. I was in a pretty rough spot with a recent loss and a problem controlling my emotions and anger around my family. To be truthful, I’m not too sure I’d still have a family without Julie’s help. She has a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to counseling. Her insights and guidance have really helped me grow as a person and has improved my relationship with my wife and my daughter. I am very fortunate to have worked with her.

Julie has been beyond excellent.
I had my doubts about betterhelp as the first counselor I was paired with didn't seem to engage with me as I was expecting, but after being switched to Julie I now see the potential of this service.
Julie has offered a bunch of support through messages, worksheets, and video sessions, and I have felt she has adjusted her methods to suit me in a very comforting and patient manner.
I was doubtful I would get much from a counseling service but I have been thankfully been proven incorrect.
Thanks Julie!
