Dr. Black has been so easy to work with and she is such an amazing therapist. I am fortunate to have been matched with her. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging all while providing a safe and comfortable setting to communicate openly. I highly recommend her!

I just completed my first session with Dr. Black and must say it went well.
She asks me open ended question to get me to talk about myself (not my favorite thing to do).
I am looking forward to our next session.

Dr. Black has helped me understand myself and my issues in a way I thought impossible. She makes me feel like I can be as open as I want, and she always listens and is there to make sure the focus is on bettering yourself by understanding yourself.

Dr.Black is the first person I have opened up to, betterhelp is my gateway to healing. I didn’t realize how badly I needed it until I got therapy. You don’t have to carry it all alone, allow others in to help.

After a few sessions with Dr. Libby Black, I can honestly say that I’ve never felt more comfortable with a Therapist. She’s very personal and offer such great advice short term and long term. You can tell that she loves what she does and it’s apparent on each sessions I’ve had with her so far.
