These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Hughes. 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 was apprehensive about online therapy, wondering if I could actually connect and feel heard. Lauren blew those fears away immediately, the amount of knowledge, compassion and genuine concern from her is evident in each session. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have hope and real support.

Lauren has really helped me unearth my trauma and begin to learn how to cope with it. She’s great at reminding me of the good things I do and knowing what influences my actions.

I’ve tried a few different therapists, both in person and online. In the past, I walked out of therapy sessions filled with questions, unease, and just more negative emotions than before I went in. However, with Lauren, we talk through things and I feel heard. She offers support as well as some constructive feedback or suggestions. I end our sessions with things that I think about, but never in a drowning sadness like other therapy experiences. I always look forward to my sessions, and I walk out feeling a like some weight is lifted.
