I have had substantial growth and progress in my mental health journey since selecting Linda Acosta-Smith as my therapist. She’s kind but honest, gives me many different perspectives, provides insight and recommendations to explore. I have improved more in the last 4 1/2 months than I did in the previous 18 months. I’m very appreciative of the virtual therapy options. It’s easy to use all the features. The platform is seems very secure. I would shout from every roof top that Better Help is a great resource for therapy.
