These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nafisah Clay. 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.
Nafisha takes time to explore my own understanding of my issues. She cultivates a welcoming therapeutic experience which eases the natural worries that come with vulnerability.
Written on Jun 11, 2025 after therapy with Nafisah for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
I’m not always in the best headspace going into therapy, but Nafisah meets me right where I am. She’s structured but not rigid, super attentive, and just gets it. I feel heard, not judged. She helps me untangle what’s weighing on me in a way that feels manageable. I leave each session breathing easier, feeling like myself again. I’m still figuring things out, but with her, it doesn’t feel so heavy.

A true gem, and an overall stellar and through therapist. 5 stars, and highly recommend Dr Clay, your needs will be met, and you will feel seen and heard as well as given all necessary tools to tackle what's to come.

Literal perfection.

Nafisah was a wonderful therapist. I wish I could’ve continued my treatment with her, but unfortunately, BetterHelp has commodified something as important as mental health. If you’re on this service and you can afford to keep it going, I strongly recommend you stick with her.

Great listener. Makes you feel comfortable almost like talking to a friend.
