These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kyisha Velazquez. 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.
Kyisha has been fantastic so far. She is extremely knowledgeable and is helping me figure out what I need to do to achieve my therapeutic goals. She is engaging and uses active listening in order to understand how to move forward with my treatment. I appreciate that she takes notes and is giving me skills to use outside of therapy to help me navigate my day to day life. I have concrete goals set that she and I will be moving towards achieving together. I don’t feel judged, but I also don’t feel coddled. Which is an approach that I think will work beautifully for me. I am happy with the work she and I have done so far, and I’m looking forward to continuing to buckle down and truly understand my current thought patterns and come up with strategies together to change my perspective. I am feeling hopeful for the first time in quite a while, and that means everything to me. I know that there is quite a lot of work to be done, but I feel confident that Kyisha has the ability and skill set to help me do it.

Kyisha meets me where I am, and approaches me with a manner that is both respectful and leveling. I feel like she has the ability to bring me and my mind to ease and just have a painless judgement free conversation.

Kyisha has been great from the first session. She listened and picked up on the issues and bad habits right away. She has always been prompt and helpful with the scheduling, and with help outside of therapy times.

I have made more progress in two sessions than I have in the last years with my previous two therapists. She listens and gives feedback that is empathetic and honest. I appreciate all of the support.
