I have seen several therapists, and after losing my health insurance, I tried BetterHelp for the first time a few months ago and was paired with Monique. She is PHENOMENAL.

When I first met Monique I was in a terrible place.
I was dealing with a lot of past trauma that was destroying my relationship and personal self-esteem.
Monique helped me discover some good things about myself that helped me gain love for myself .
She taught me skills to deal with intense emotions and helped me identify some negative thought patterns that were causing me to do irrational things .
She helped me find myself again !
With the skills I learned from her, I was able to save my relationship and make it better!
She was there for me anytime I needed her.
I could message her questions anytime and she always got back to me .
Monique is more than a therapist, she was very kind and always very helpful.
I feel very grateful for all the skills I learned from her and I will always think of her first if I find myself needing a therapist in the future.
I would highly recommend Monique to anyone seeking help

So far, Monique Goodson-Johnson has been very attentive and professional.

I had my first therapy session with Ms. Goodson-Johnson and she was wonderful. We touched on a broad range of issues, I didn’t feel rushed, she listened, and provided helpful feedback and guidance. I felt like it was a very cathartic session and ended feeling much lighter just after one session. Highly recommend. I look forward to our future sessions.
